I have had TMJ since middle school, at least. My dentist comments on it every time I go there because my jaw snaps when i try to open it wide. I also have had periods where I would clench my jaw in my sleep and when I am stressed, as noted by my voice coach-I have to massage my jaw to un-tense it before I can sing properly.

I have only been on Effexor (my first AD) for two months, but i think it has helped lessen the jaw clenching, especially at night-I sleep better now, so I don't clench.

Maybe TMJ is linked to depression- those who are depressed tend to be on SSRI's (or other meds), which might make you think it was due to the meds...
