Follow-Up: Ive tried everything - Ive bitten through my nightguard within a year (I still awoke in pain and also wasted $400), broken teeth, fillings & crowns, wake up with headaches, neck pain, & fatigue every AM. I have dreams that my teeth are falling out and wake up out of a sound sleep from the sound of my own grinding, and a love life is non existent. Ive tried melatonin, 5htp, elavil (prescribed by a TMJ clinic). A year ago, a pharmacist gave me Prozac instead of Prilosec (for heartburn), and I was on it fora week before I knew it was Prozac. I was a little groggy, but woke up relaxed, refreshed, and no pain! All my symptoms of Bruxism disappeared. Im just wondering how to get a regular prescription for this purpose and why no studies have been done on this!
