hello all, this last week I've been feeling 95% better not a side effect, thought great time to get back to normal until the last 2 days I've had the shakey jaw and jaw clenching followed by achy teeth the next day its doing my head in now! I'm going to give 10-12 weeks if I'm not side effect free I'm going to ween off it very very slowly

no it can't i just think the medication doesn't agree with us at all, so what side effects are you having has it helped with your other problems at all? with me it's helped in one way but I just can't put up with these side effects anymore I feel like I'm on amphetamine the way my teeth and jaw is! it will be 12 weeks Friday I shouldn't be having side effects now I know some people on here have had side effects for 6 months I'm not putting up with that!

i have had all sorts, i had insomnia, nausea, dry mouth, heightened anxiety which is still here and the main reason im on medication. my sleeping is a lot better now but apart from that im not seeing much improvements sadly. the overthinking is a killer as well. have you had any improvements with it at all?

the docs dont want to prescribe anything to help really at my surgery, they gave me zopiclone for sleep but nothing for the extra anxiety. i have seen a few people on here have to have gum shields made to stop damaging their teeth. i must admit i have bitten the inside of my mouth to death its so sore
