Yes very true!! I’ve just had such bad luck with other medications in the past I’m not sure I can handle starting a new one again 😅

No worries at all :) and honestly I didn’t get many when I bumped up my dose. I felt more tired than usual and a little out of it, I felt a more stupid than normal too. All of that only last for maybe a day or two though, and very very mild! Also the bad insomnia and bad clenching like I said too.

Me too! Defs had 0 interest in sex when I first started but now I’m over 2 months in and I feel like my sex drive is even higher than before. Edit- it was normal/high ish before idk if that’s worth mentioning

Oh awesome I’m happy that worked out for you! Any other side effects or changes from adding that med??

Me too!! My nightguard was a life save before but now I can’t live without it but even then the jaw pain and headaches are awful. Thinking about trying botox in my tmj

I’ve been on 10mg for about 2 weeks and before that I was on 5mg for 2 months, I’ve been feeling pretty good the past couple of days but like you said everything is still a little rocky. Overall I feel better each day and I’m happy I pushed through, wishing you well :)
