Bruxism possibly induced by venlafaxine.

AbstractOBJECTIVE:
To report a patient with bruxism possibly induced by the antidepressant venlafaxine.
CASE REPORT:
A 62-year-old man developed severe bruxism that began 2 weeks after starting a therapy with venlafaxine because of depression and anxiety. After venlafaxine withdrawal, bruxism improved gradually and disappeared 2 months later.
CONCLUSIONS:
Bruxism should be considered as a possible adverse effect of venlafaxine.
