I was diagnosed with major depression 13 years ago. I think I've been on 18 or 19 antidepressants. Presently I am taking 450MG of Wellbutrin SR & 3 MG of Kolonopin daily.
One time I was on a anitdepressant that I found out later that I was SUPPOSED to have been taking Novane(sp) to counter act the side affects of the antidepressant. I don't remember what the antidepressant was.
Now for the problem....
I chew my tongue almost constantly. I get various sensations from my tounge... sometimes it seems like I have something hung between my teeth, sometimes I feel like I have a mouth full of 'crunchies'. This incessant chewing is driving me nuts.
My docs say I'm just going to have to put up with this... God I hope not....
Anyone have any ideas to help me? Would accupuncture help?
Thanks,
LEF

Hi, Its been a while since you posted. I believe I can help you with the tongue chewing habit. Are you still out there?

I think you might chew your tongue less if you took less wellbutrin sr.

Novane? Maybe Navane? Would this be TD?

I believe that LEF was referring to a retained habit from early childhood and not a side effect from medication although I wouldn't rule out the possibility.
