Example Stand Alone Question- Click to see answer!

A 34-year-old woman was started on 50 mg of sertraline 2 weeks ago. She comes for follow up complaining of jaw pain and grinding of her teeth particularly at night that causes headaches and facial pain. Which of the following is the best approach to managing SSRI-induced bruxism?

A Wait another 2 weeks

B Switch to venlafaxine

C Add an anticholinergic agent

D Add buspirone

E Refer to a neurologist

Example Stand Alone- Answer

Correct Answer – D Add buspirone

Explanation:

SSRI-induced bruxism is an underrecognized phenomenon which can be distressing to patients, the evidence suggests that the addition of buspirone may help relieve such symptoms (Choice D) through its partial agonism of striatal 5HT1A receptors. This is not a time-specific adverse effect so watchful waiting is unlikely to help (Choice A). Venlafaxine is one of the agents most associated with bruxism and hence unhelpful (Choice B). Acetylcholine has not been recognized to be involved in bruxism and hence unlikely to relieve symptoms (Choice C). practitioners can manage simple SSRI-induced bruxism without the need for a neurological consultation (Choice E).
