Ouw!!
I remember this from Nardil (and also Zoloft)--but yeah, I am constantly grinding my teeth on this Marplan.
I'd like to somehow deal with this without adding another drug for it...
Anyone else get this? Or know what causes it?
So, I am having up days and down days--I do know the Marplan is working though, and my depression's decreased since switching Klonopin to Ativan. I think I'll give Marplan a "final report card grade" in 3-4 weeks since I have now been on 60mg for about a week.
Quit smoking two weeks ago--whew!
Thanks all for your support....

I started grinding my teeth when I first started lamictal. I'm not sure if I ever really stopped grinding or if I've just become delusional about it. It's a depressing thing to have happen.

Hi Phillipa!
I really don't know--what I CAN tell you is that Klonopin makes my depression worse, Ativan may be neutral but certainly isn't nearly as bad as Klonopin, and Xanax has AD-boosting properties.. For *me*. And I need to be on a benzo.
It's too bad that the clinic I see my psychiatrist in has literally prohibited their MDs from prescribing Xanax because some drug abusing screw ups abuse it or divert it to the street. It's a county (government) clinic that sees a lot of indigent patients, but it sucks when I have to pay for their irresponsibility....
But I'm OK with Ativan for now. :-). Hope that I continue to improve....

Zonked same all over re the benzos had my pdoc switch to ativan from xanax and never took it hence asked as thinking should ask for the xanax back since still taking it. And yes the ad properties. Phillipa
