Ongoing. I'm about to enter into stage 2 (stage 3 in the offing).

I'm glad to do this stuff. I really hate the other.
> You mentioned sleep for you has been disturbed. Getting it worked out any?
No. That's why I'm fragile. I've learned how to self-assess with some accuracy, and I'm near the edge of the cliff.
> I mentioned to you I lost a mouth guard 4 weeks ago and got a new type called a NIT that fits over my front teeth. Been using it a almost a week and I have head tension like I had on 30 mg of remeron.
Doesn't sound like it fits right.
> I find it hard to believe that at 15 mg of remeron this side effect would reappear. It is either the mouth guard/sleep disturbance or side effects.
New mouth guard, and new effect......I'd look at the mouth guard.
> I do still try to grind my teeth.
Uhhh, "try (not) to"? This helps me. During the day, I consciously relas my jaw. I accomplish this by slightly extending my tongue between my teeth. This encourages a new relaxed jaw position, which actually reduces bruxing. I got the idea from a dental research journal.
> I visit a sleep doctor tomorrow and hopefully he can help. I find it odd that a normal mouth guard that fits over my top teeth would be better than this new one??? Unless it help be breath or something. I am getting frustrated again. I want my sound sleep.....take care my friend.
I hope you find something that works. Take care, dude.
