Introduction Bruxism is a movement disorder in the mouth and teeth region, such as squeezing, grinding, or restraining teeth that can occur during sleep or wakefulness. The incidence of bruxism is 8 to 31% in the adult population (1, 2). Symptoms consistent with bruxism are a common chief complaint in dental practice. The authors describe a case of bruxism likely induced by the antidepressant venlafaxine and successfully treated with gabapentin. Bruxism is a repetitive jaw‐muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible. It can occur during sleep, indicated as sleep bruxism, or during wakefulness, indicated as awake bruxism. On the basis of this case and the available literature, the authors conclude that bruxism secondary to antidepressant therapy may be common. Thus, dentists should inquire about the use of these medications in patients who have bruxism. Gabapentin may offer promise in the treatment of this condition. Bruxism is a common stereotyped movement disorder characterized by repetitive clenching of the jaw and grinding of the teeth. 1 Sleep bruxism is associated with sleep arousal, and is characterized by lateral teeth grinding. On Feb, 26, 2016: 37,299 people reported to have side effects when taking Gabapentin (Neurontin). Among them, 48 people (0.13%) have Teeth Grinding And Clenching. Benzodiazepines are widely prescribed for a variety of conditions, particularly anxiety and insomnia. With preg i noticed some clench, but it passed and never got too intense. I’m trying gab, on first day I had pain on one side of face, took two tabs, my jaw tensed hard, felt like it was on fire, I’m giving it a day three with three tabs to try to establish if it’s the drug. Pretty sure it might well be. Background. Symptoms consistent with bruxism are a common chief complaint in dental practice. The authors describe a case of bruxism likely induced by the antidepressant venlafaxine and successfully treated with gabapentin. The jaw twitching had caused dysphagia with an inability to drink liquids. Physical examination confirmed the persistent lower jaw myoclonus (Supplementary Video). Summary: Bruxism is reported as a side effect among people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 1 - 6 months also take Celebrex, and have Narcolepsy. The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Bruxism when taking Gabapentin, including time on the drug, (if applicable) gender, age, co-used drugs and more. It We summarize the clinical features and treatment of antidepressant-associated bruxism and associated jaw pain through a systematic review of case reports. Antidepressant-associated bruxism may occur in pediatric and adult patients, most commonly among female patients. Patients may develop symptoms with short-term and long-term antidepressant use. Awake bruxism is usually seen as a jaw clenching habit that appears in response to stress and anxiety states [2], while sleep bruxism represents a sleep related rhythmic masticatory activity generally associated with arousals (from sleep) [3, 4]. Drug Therapy for Bruxism Chemical treatments for bruxism have also been developed. Research suggests that gabapentin may improve sleep quality and reduce teeth grinding and clenching in bruxism sufferers (Madani et al., 2013), but the drug carries side-effects. Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding, which often leads to jaw clenching and jaw pain. Learn which prescription medications can cause drug-induced bruxism and temporomandibular disorders. I have been taking 1500-1800mg Gabapentin for 10 days and it has magically decreased my clenching by at least 75%. My Jaw is now looser than ever and I don’t wake up as tight. My issue has always been extremely tense muscles around my joint. My joint structure and function have always been average. That is great that you found some relief. Three patients from the Desai et al. case series that were treated with gabapentin had myoclonic jerks on the side contralateral to their epileptic focus. This finding may suggest that brain areas with antecedent dysfunction are more vulnerable to the toxic effects of calcium channel blockers [6]. Explore the potential link between Gabapentin use and tooth decay. Our Miami-based health experts break down the science, effects, and precautions for Gabapentin users. Learn preventative measures and care methods to protect your dental health. The jaw twitching had caused dysphagia with an inability to drink liquids. Physical examination confirmed the persistent lower jaw myoclonus (Supplementary Video; The patient was fully conscious and had no twitching or nystagmus in any of her other extremities. Abstract We describe a case of sertraline-induced bruxism. Different medications were tried to manage bruxism, including buspirone, gabapentin, quetiapine, and clonazepam. Quetiapine gave the best result in treating bruxism in our patient, but its side effects, mainly weight gain, were intolerable.
