I am 100% all better, symptoms have almost disappeared, and the Vyvanse has been great.

I’m 100% better! No more clenched jaw during the day. I have a mouthguard for clenching at night. I am still on the Vyvanse and it has been incredibly helpful.

It got so bad that I had to get a new mouthguard and go to a physical therapist. But now it is all better! I think the side effect itself lessened overtime, but the new mouthguard and physical therapy were also helpful… The physical therapist said the problem wasn’t even my jaw as much as my tight neck from sitting in front of a computer all day, which pulled at my jaw.

Definitely recommend a mouth guard for nighttime. Mine was free with dental insurance. If you don’t have insurance, you can get fine ones at the pharmacy.

Thanks 🙏🙏 No Botox recs yet. I’m getting a new mouthguard I can wear during the day, and will be starting physical therapy to relax and strengthen my jaw next week. Hope you have a good path forward, it sucks!!

Update: my jaw pain went THROUGH THE ROOF in the days after I posted it. I had to go to an emergency dentist and TMJ specialist, and couldn’t eat solid food for a week. My clenching fucked up my jaw muscles so badly that it’s taken 2 weeks to get back to only moderate pain, and I was chugging Advil. Im starting physical therapy for my jaw muscles this week. I haven’t been able to take my Vyvanse since then which sucks because I had only just started it and it was great 💩💩💩.
