My anxiety has been so bad that I've been chewing the inside of my cheek and haven't realized I've been doing it πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ. I finally slept last night because I took a xanax... When I don't I'm up until 6 am because my brain won't shut up. πŸ₯Ί

I finally met someone who also chews the inside of their cheek too. It's all anxiety. I wear a night guard and then a day guard to keep my tongue away from my cheek. I bought them at Amazon Prime.

I do have an anti anxiety med also 3x per day although I have Chronic Insomnia.

I rinse my mouth off with Zero Listerine to heal my cheek faster, salt and water and Orajel.

I have only been taking it when absolutely necessary

Everyone responds different to meds which don't cause grinding. Anxiety and stress causes grinding

What kind of problems? I never had problems when I took it. What's your experience?

Grinding comes from anxiety and Xanax is an anti anxiety and everyone responds different
