In reply to Buspar for SSRI induced bruxism., posted by LynnPerley on April 26, 2003, at 11:11:21
I take luvox, 50mg with buspar 5-10mg, it works well to reduce muscle tension caused from the SSRI. I keep the doses low, the higher the dose, the more tension I get. Also Elavil 25mg at night on occasion, or valium 5mg helps with headaches and TMJ pain, regardless of weither its induced by meds or if you have it naturally.
I have TMJ naturally so on top of it I have to be careful. I have not tried Topomax, Klonapin does work also but it makes me very depressed as a side effect, so it negates the whole antidepressant idea. Its the most depressing of the benzos. Also prozac and buspar interact with one another, and the prozac doesnt work as well, thats why I switched to luvox. Anything that helps TMJ is basically going to reduce your serotonin, so I reccomend a small dose of buspar 5-10 mg a day one hour after you take you SSRI. Dont take at same time.
