Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

See Orofacial Pain: Some reports in the literature have suggested that the Ashwagandha may cause an increase in nocturnal bruxism in some patients. When this occurs, prescribing the anxiolytic, buspirone along with the SSRI may decrease nocturnal bruxism. See an orofacial pain specialist for bruxism management.
