I looked at Dr. Bob's posts that he recommended. Did you see that Klonopin has been used for the jaw clenching with good results? You may need to go back to it at night since I think I remember from your other posts that this started before you started on medications; so it sounds like an independent problem, not particularly related to the medications. Also, it sounds like you are having problems getting your words SPOKEN, not LOSING the word in your brain, like a memory problem, is that right? In that case, it may also be related to anxiety, or in some way related to the jaw clenching, like the muscles spasm sometimes. If the Klonopin also has helped that in the past, it sounds even more like the two are related and you may need the Klonopin for both problems.
Regarding the preferred medications: The MD's do need to contact the insurance company and appeal for the Remeron and for the natural hormones. You have a history of adverse reactions to the others and that is a criteria for most companies to approve off-formulary medications.
