Re: sertraline side effects.
Hi bubbles, I've been on lustral 50mg for about 3 weeks now and am still experiencing side effects. I was previously on citalopram 20mg but came off it as I am TTC but the withdrawal symptoms were unbearable so the dr put me on lustral/sertraline 50mg instead. I too have had the jaw clenching/teeth grinding at night. In addition I'm feeling pretty light headed, dizzy and spaced out on occasion. I also have a dry mouth and am feeling quite anxious. I have read quite a bit about this drug and these side effects appear to be normal. You have to wait it out for a few weeks I think before you start to feek more human. As an aside has anyone started to have more health anxiety whilst on lustral? I didn't have it before at all. :ohmy:
Re: sertraline side effects.
Yes, if you have defective/broken teeth, clenching your jaw can cause issues. The clenching can cut off the blood vessels to the tooth which means your white blood cells cannot protect against any bacteria that may have infected the tooth pulp.
It's happened to me before when I took Citalopram, ended up with an abcess. I don't have this side effect with Sertraline.
