Gabapentin (Neurontin) helps me with the jaw clenching at night. I don't take it in the daytime.

thanks mark. i remember you saying that so did a little googling and found something about it interfering with synapses or something i don't really understand...
http://www.wellnessresources.com/fre...rain_synapses/ enough to scare me off. i'm hoping the lexapro is just for the next 5-6 months and i'll just try to cope with the pain
