DEFINITION Bruxism is defined as repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterized by grinding or clenching of the teeth [1] and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible [2]. Bruxism is most common during sleep, when it is referred to as sleep-related bruxism. 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 Temporomandibular disorders affect between 5% and 12% of the population and present with symptoms such as headache, bruxism, pain at the temporomandibular joint, jaw popping or clicking, neck pain 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. 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. Gabapentin was discontinued and replaced with pregabalin 50 mg BD and the patient was prescribed valium 2 mg TDS transiently. The jaw myoclonus subsided on the second day. After a consultation with a speech therapist, the patient resumed oral intake and remained tolerant of a normal diet. Antidepressant-associated movement disorders are a well-described phenomenon. However, antidepressant-associated bruxism, jaw pain, or jaw spasm, while reported in dental literature, is less commonly recognized among neurologists. We summarize the Reeves et al. described another patient with drug-resistant epilepsy who was on GBP 600 mg three times a day for one month and suddenly presented an oculogyric crisis, retrocollis, opisthotonic posturing, and repetitive jaw clenching. The time frame over which these medications are taken is variable but can be used for many months (particularly when taken only at bedtime). An added bonus for patients taking muscle relaxants is that they promote restful sleep and can often reduce the intensity of nighttime grinding and clenching of the teeth. 4. 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. Abstract 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. Exogenous risk indicators of sleep bruxism and/or awake bruxism are, among others, medications and addictive substances, whereas also 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. Bruxism, which is characterized by clenching and/or grinding of the dentition, is a common con-dition affecting approximately 8 to 21 percent of the population.1-3 The authors report a case of bruxism likely induced by the antidepressant ven-lafaxine and successfully treated with the anti-convulsant gabapentin. REPORT OF A CASE Does the gabapentin seem to help with your anxiety? Could it be the gabapentin is possibly having an adverse effect and making anxiety worsen and then causes grinding of the teeth? If that makes any sense at all. It’s kind of like the gabapentin could be effecting you indirectly. 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]. For many people, short-term use of over-the-counter pain medications or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, may provide temporary relief from jaw and muscle discomfort. 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. Can Gabapentin cause dental/tmj issues. I saw some posts on some health messageboard of ppl saying that Gabapentin and Lyrica fucked their teeth up for taking it for years and years. I took Gabapentin for a while BEFORE I was dx with TMJ or had any signs of involuntary clenching. late 2016 to late 2019 I was taking Gabapentin and had no issues with clenching or tmj issues just until I had a 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].
