Grinding Teeth (Bruxism) problems probably stress

Posted by GregCo on March 31, 2003, at 13:11:28

I grind my teeth every night and use a mouth guard to prevent me from ruining my teeth anymore than I already have. I think it probably is stress(possibly slight depression too?) related.
I think I started about 7 years ago when a girlfriend of mine broke up with and has been continuing ever since. Has anyone had this problem and figured out a way to solve it? Possibly a certain medication my help?
I think the grinding may be preventing me from getting into a deep sleep. I seem to need a lot of sleep around 9.5 hrs at the very least to feel somewhat decent. It would great if I could stop grinding my teeth for this reason, not to mention it would save my teeth and prevent my TMJ from worsening
