Guest guest Posted April 22, 2001 Report Share Posted April 22, 2001 a, Your comment here made me curious about Zoloft. Do you know that clenching your teeth is a known side-effect?

That is a very long surgery. Besides a tubal ligation, I've never had any kind of abdominal surgery, so I can't imagine what you are going through.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 , NO! I read several different sites about zoloft and didn't see it mentioned. I went off of it for awhile and started it again to see if it was the zoloft, and sure enough it stopped when I went off of it, and came back when I started taking it again. I haven't started the Prozac yet. It takes me a while of staring at new meds before I take them. I kinda have to psyc myself into it.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Hey, a, I don't think you are nuts for waiting before you try another drug, especially if you've had some bad experiences in the past. Take all the time you need! ----- Original Message ----- From: " a " <paula54@...> < > Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2001 9:15 PM Subject: RE: [ ] a - Zoloft and Bruxism > , > NO!
