Teeth grinding symptoms and conditions

I was on Lisinopril for 4 months. I had some coughing, the gag reflex, and a general feeling of malaise. My depression was bad at times and I imagined myself committing suicide more than once. I also began to grind my teeth at night. I have been off of the poison for 8 days and all side effects have subsided except for the teeth grinding. My teeth and jaws ache all the time. I had never experienced that problem before. I too went to the ER in the middle of the night about 2 months ago because I was sure I was having a heart attack or stroke. I finally made an appointment with a therapist 3 weeks ago to deal with the depression. She told me about Lisinopril side effects and I quit taking it. I owe her my life. I feel re-born. I am so happy to be alive!!!!

I remember, 4th grade when I got glasses and could actually see what everyone else saw, I couldn't believe how blind I was. This is the way I felt when I tried adderall for the first time. It was givin to me my senior year by a friend who was diagnosed with adhd. It gave me a feeling like I could accomplish anything. I seemed to be on top of everything. Growing up my mother always forced me to go to the clinic, because there was something "not right" with me. I hated all the medicines, especially zoloft. About my 8th grade year was when I rebelled, and stopped taking it. High School went decent, I made it, My favorite subjects were and still are art and music. Once I was introduced to adderall senior year I couldnt get over the fact that maybe my mom was right, I tried it a few other times over the next year in college and it seemed to help emensly, It felt as though I was quicker in my thought process. Problem was I wasnt perscribed and I felt I should go talk to a physician. I went in, sat down, said I have problems focusing and that was it. I was out the door with the perscription. I went to the pharmacy, ten minutes later I get a bottle that says Amphetimine Salts.... which kinda bothered me. So I took 10 mg a day for a month then 20mg the next month, over this time period I noticed that I started looking forward to taking it every day and having dry mouth. I also drank more soda then usual which was odd. I wanted to tell my physician but I didnt in fear of being pulled off the medicine and felt the benifits out weighed the the dry mouth. The 3rd month was where things got worse, I would take it before work have an awesome day and be worn out after, and then I come home and stare at all of my homework. Tired and tempted by the bottle on my dressor, I started abusing it. I would say "ok only this time", yet It seemed like I always got put in a bind and gave in. I started to notice a little bit of teeth grinding but not to bad. Now currently as of tonight I no longer will take adderall, because I saw myself in the mirror, I have a cracked tooth after 4 months of taking it. I brush and floss regularly everyday. Its not to big of a crack but big enough to have opened my eyes. I dumped all my my perscribtion down the garbage disposal, and all I want to say is parents be careful and adults be responsible and that sometimes its ok not to see or be "not right" and drop this medicine if you experience any of this.

My 4 year old son has been taking Singulair for 2 1/2 years. It really helped with his seasonal allergies, asthma and a chronic cough he had. HOWEVER, he too became more aggresive, unfortunately, my sweet angel's personality change was not enough of a red flag for me. Over the past couple of months he's been opening and closing his mouth (tic like), eye blinking, teeth grinding, making sounds with his throat and nose. The more my husband and I talked about it we realized he had been doing some of these things longer, but they were subtle. Now they all came out at once. I have been crying my eyes out, feeling like a horrible mother - thinking my child is possibly developing tourette syndrome. We are do to see a neurologist in 3 weeks, but I just know that it was the Singulair.

teeth grinding, nightmares, diareah, night sweats, moody. All this seems to have happened about 4 months into it.

I originally took Zoloft for anxiety and stress, but the drug seemed to intensify my anxiety to the point of having frequent panic attacks. I took 25mg for a week- and 50mg for two weeks. During that time I had frequent headaches, and a feeling of motion sickness / dizzy rapidly moving backwards sensation.

After the third day of taking the 25's- I passed out while getting X-rays- I was rushed to the hospital with very low blood pressure- although my blood sugar levels and AKG were both fine. After several hours I was released and told it was just a form of anxiety and my body's biological reaction to perceived fear. I continued to take Zoloft based on the doctor's in the emergency room's recommendation. I also had sleeplessness, a high frequency of dreams, and very bad teeth grinding (to the point where my jaw aches)

Exactly two weeks after taking the 50mg dose- I had a severe panic attack while driving my car- I felt as though I were going to pass out- arms went numb, I got the adrenaline shakes. I missed work because of it. My doctor's office told me to stop taking it immediately but after taking to a pharmacist- she said it will take up to two weeks to get out of my system and that panic attacks are a possible side affect. Since I stopped taking it- I am very anxious all the time and have moments of very high anxiety while driving. I wake up feeling nausea and weakness in my legs. I am now taking Zanax to counter the panic attacks until the Zoloft gets out of my system.

The most discouraging part of this whole experience is that I was seeking treatment for stress and anxiety- and now I am loving with horrible panic attacks. The drug had the completely opposite affect of it's intended use.

I have been on Paxil (20 mg/day, taken in the morning) for 18 days now, and I am feeling way better than I was before starting it. Before, I was weepy, depressed, prone to panic attacks, quick to anger, and wondering why I was alive.

Now, I am thinking much more clearly. I do not feel depressed. I have not experienced any panic whatsoever, even during times when I usually had panic episodes before. I feel moments of normal happiness, which I had gone a very long time without experiencing.

I have experienced a slight sensation of detachment since starting the Paxil, but it's not awful. In fact, it is probably best for me, anyway. My emotional instability was pretty bad before--crying at the drop of a hat, freaking out at my poor husband for something minor--and the Paxil has put me back on an even keel again.

The only "bad" (note the quotes) side effects I have noted are night sweats (actually, increased sweating overall), insomnia (particularly bad the first week of taking Paxil), and teeth grinding in my sleep.

My doctor prescribed me a short course of low-dosage Xanax for just the first few weeks, so I pop two 0.25 mg pills before bedtime. This has helped the insomnia, and I am no longer grinding my teeth during the night. The longer I stay on the Paxil, the lesser I notice or experience the bad side effects.

Overall, for me at least, the good outweighs the bad with Paxil. I feel like myself again!

I'm in the middle of my second week on yasmin. I've had trouble getting to sleep before 3 or 4 AM. When I do sleep I have extremely vivid dreams, and during the day I'm tired, and can nap at the drop of a hat. Also, I'm experiencing severe tension/ teeth grinding such that the left side of my jaw has become very tender. I've read about the dreams/sleep problems. Has anyone experienced the jaw tension?
