jaw clenching

April 29, 2003

Funny you should mention clenching. I just today saw my psychiatrist about

that. Two months ago I started on Buspar in addition to Lex, specifically

for the clenching. The buspar has NOT helped relieve the clenching. So, I'll

soon be switching off both Lex and Buspar and going to Remeron, a drug i've

barely heard of. I'm not really happy about having to switch. Switching is

hard on my body.

As for you, Crystal, with some people the clenching does subside. And not

true for others, like me. And yes, I do think that sometimes a higher dose

relieves the sides. I think it did for me on Lex (nausea, for one). Funny,

pdoc says that on remeron sedation side effect goes away at higher dosages.

I'm about to find out.

Wish me luck, and good luck to everyone else. I'm tired of being a guinea

pig (I love guinea pigs but I don't want to be one).

jaw clenching

Hi there...I have been on Lexapro for 3 weeks. It seems to have finaly

gosh , sorry to read that the street drug has

such a hold on you. Is there some rehab you can get

into or have you run out of options?

you're not alone in the area of loneliness.

Lot's of people are in the same place as you are. What

have you tried to do to meet women? You don't sound

like you're the social club type of person but I could

be wrong about that.

I'd ignore the crank reference. I haven't heard that term since my locker room

days in school. I don't think that was appropriate.

I agree...that was uncalled for.

September 14, 2006

I feel I cant go on much longer. I swear I could fucken kill someone over the

loneliness Ive felt over the last 10 years! 10 years without a single date! All

I care about in this world is women/love and thats what Ive been completely

deprived of all these years. And yeah, forget the screwed-up upbringing that

made me this way.

Are you doing anything about this? Are you going out? Trying to meet people?

Watch a porno man!!! not that I would do that myself.........

LOL ya right, you rpobably have an entire library of porn. :-)

I'm fat too, just below 300 but that doesn't stop me

from socializing. I go to a really terrific church

that has people of all sizes and have really good

friends there. There's a man bigger than I am and he

has good friends there too. I just determined that

since the world is made up of oodles of fat people

then skinny, more attractive people will just have to

get over themselves and accept me for who I am the way

that I am. I've been fat all my life but my late

husband liked me big. There are many women who like

big men. I was looking for a man who had a nice belly

because my dad had one and I (at times) was comforting

and my late husband had that belly. It was great.

Don't give up . Do your best to get out there

and meet people. Try your best to just start

conversations with people on neutral subjects, esp.

after an event you've just gone to. Talk to people

there.

dang that's pretty sad that you look forward to

being miserable. I understand the feeling of being

scared of getting better because you don't know how

long it will last but I think I'd rather take that

risk then to look forward to being miserable all the

time.

By the way, how old are you and how/why are you so

dependent on your parents (if i may ask)?

Do you walk, exercise, eat non~fattening foods? If you're fat you're not

healthy. being overweight is a major strain on your heart not to mention

diabetes. Im 5'7, 148 lbs., I want to get down to 140. I feel so much better

when I'm not heavy. The South Beach Diet is awesome. I was at 160, did that for

2 weeks, lost my little belly, plus 12 lbs., cut a TON of sugar out of my diet

because of south beach, I walk everyday, and Im 52 yrs old and can still fit

into a bikini. :-) I promise you, drop about 150 lbs. and you will feel like a

million bucks!! And it will be better for you too! Terry

I seem to be one of the see-saw people. I have lost a

lot of weight several times but the things changed and

I gained it back again. However, the tiredness that I

feel now as well as then did not go away. I'd try to

find another AD that might help me with energy except

that I get my meds free through my dr's office and I

don't know if he would have any other AD that would

work as well. Not only am I tired phys. but mentally

and emotionally as well. I can still enjoy life

mentally & emotionally but not so much phys. yet I am

very little motivated to get too many things done. I

need to find a new apartment but I just don't seem to

have the wherewhithall to be too active with it. oy

First, let me jump in and say " i get it " from those of you who receive

undue criticism from your families. I wondered if we'd all grown up

in the same house.

Earlier in these discussions someone mentioned jaw clenching while on

the lex. At the time I wasn't experiencing it but now it is driving

me freaking crazy and giving me a headache. Am considering just

weaning off the lex and saying forget it. Anyone have any experience

with this.

Have a good weekend.

Well, it's that way for me. My depression was so

circumstantial I put off asking about chemical help

for almost too long.

As for " valued " , that is an issue I started to

investigate with the psychologist a few sessions ago,

as in the form why I stayed in my rotten flat without

making more than the most superficial improvements.

Hi I too am very sensitive to meds. I have been on all the SSRIs and

finally found Lexapro to be the most helpful with least side effects. I

was on 10 mg but just upped it to 20, so far so good. I was asked to

be on 20 but decided on my own to stay at 10 until I was comfortable.

I KNOW that if I started at 20 I probably would have not kept taking

it. I have multiple pain syndromes, another entire story. However

they did TRY to tell me my pain is from my depression. I say I am

depressed due to my pain. The chicken or the egg syndrome. When I

dont hurt I am happy. I hurt every day but to different degrees. I

cannot do ALOT and I am young. If I do have a good day and over do it

I end up in bed. MOST do not get it, and think I am lazy. Lord if they

only knew. I have always clenched my teeth so .........I say get one

of those new guards they are selling in the drug stores. Give the

Lexapro at 20 a try if you feel you need to, you can always back off

the dose. hope this helped and this is my FIRST POST!

,

The mouth guards actually are quite good. I have one for TMJ I wear at nite

but it really is just a mouth guard and it works good.
