I've never had TMJ symptoms before, but the Bupropion I'm on has suddenly given me horrible TMJ that shoots up my jaw and all the way to my ear. It was so bad I could barely open my mouth wide enough to eat a donut.

As soon as I lowered my dosage, the symptoms diminished by about 80%. I read somewhere that Wellbutrin is sometimes used to treat TMJ, which would make no sense in my case. Any other bad TMJ experiences with ADs?

I got TMJ pretty bad with Moclobemide. The only way I got rid of it was to stop taking the med unfortunatly.

I think I should taper off mine, as well. Life almost isn't worth living if you can't open your mouth wide enough to eat a donut.
