Yes, I clench my jaws on Lexapro, too. In fact, I was on Zoloft prior to Lexapro and that's when it started for me. I only clench my jaws at night, though, during sleep. I would wake up with a sore jaw and wondered what was going on, finally after my regular dentist visit, it was brought to my attention that I was doing some serious teeth-grinding in my sleep - hence the tired jaw. After about 2 yrs. on this, I'm still grinding and clenching...so for me, at least, it does NOT subside. Both my dentist and my psych. recommend sleeping with a bite guard, but I just don't want to deal with that. Maybe it will help you, though - if it is that bothersome.
Good luck and best wishes.
