    Okay, so I tried meth last night for the first time (just too damn curious) and I'm used to grinding teeth like when I'm tripping, so then I would usually just chew some gum and be okay. Well this grinding is like 10x faster and I can't seem to control it. Every time I get myself to stop chewing, I get occupied with something and forget to stop chewing and my jaw just goes back to chompin away at 90 mph.

    Are there any helpful hints out there besides just chewing gum? I'm doing that right now, as I have been for the past eight straight hours or so. My jaw is ridiculously sore; any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.
    I'm thinking about just tying something around my head like you would for a sore tooth to keep my damn jaw shut, but I'm at work so that wouldn't exactly be wise.

    It's kind of funny really--food isn't appealing right now more because of my jaw being so fucking sore than from the meth.

    Thoughts?
    Ideas?

    Ok..i work in a dental office..i know all about this..

    one stop doing drugs...

    it sounds like u have a tmj disorder....u probably need treatment...but like it said drugs only make this worse..what we do in our office is give the pts. a splint..it reprograms ur muscles and joints to do the right thing..it's really interesting...

    does ur jaw pop or click ever?

    if u grind ur teeth u wear the enamel off of them..

    i'm sure u will not seek treatment so u need to be concious of grinding or 'clenching' ur teeth..keep ur teeth separated but ur lips togher..u do not want to know the long term effects of this problem if u continue doing it..so plz try to stop..i'd also recommend getting a night guard from the store to wear at night...

    WHen i have done coke in the past, it has gotten bad. Sometime i dont grind and i end up biteing the sides of my mouth so my mouth doesnt stop bleeding. I have no idea what to do to stop it though.


    Peace&Love

    here's an idea....dont do it. i did meth for over a year and from day 1 my jaw would be completely out of controll. there is no way to stop it there is no way to controll it. if your jaw moves after the first time u tried it then it will move every time u do whether u like it or not

    I didn't just jump into it though. My buddy offered it to me, I thought about it for like an hour, then I tried it. Even the next day at work, as I was still coming down I was reading up on it on erowid and here, so, I do have a clue.

    I really appreciate your responses.

    Peace
