Teeth grinding with Kepra/Lamictal

Sat, 12/27/2014 - 10:12

Hi, I'm 26 years old and I've been taking Lamictal for 10 years along with valproic acids, both  for epilepsy. I was taking 300mg lamictal and 600mg valproic acids each day. About 2 months ago, I changed medications, I'm taking 500mg Keppra twice a day and increased the Lamictal to 500mg a day. Around the time I started the Keppra, I started grinding my teeth every night, all night. I don't realize it, my teeth/jaw doesn't hurt but my boyfriend has noticed it during the night. I'm wondering if anybody has experienced the same with either Lamictal or Keppra? If yes, what did you do about it?

Thanks so much and happy holidays :)
