title: Bruxism possibly induced by venlafaxine.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a patient with bruxism possibly induced by the antidepressant venlafaxine.
  
  
  METHODS
  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.
