Maybe: Grinding teeth is associated with central nervous system activity. Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) also has a direct effect on the central nervous system. If the patient was never grinding teeth and now after taking Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) for few weeks is experiencing grinding teeth, one can deduce that there is a relationship between the two. Please have the person see a dentist to get an occlusal guard. Sorry to hear about it!
