Are there any prescribed non sedating muscle relaxants i can take for tmj? i do also take wellbutrin (bupropion) and topomax.

Muscle relaxant: There are several options, but since u r asking for prescribed ones, the doctor prescribing your other medications would be the best to consult.

No: Unfortunately muscle relaxants all tend to be sedating. For non-drowsy pain relief, i recommend nsaids like Ibuprofen if you can take them. A soft diet for a week as well as alternating ice/heat to the area can also help. A dentist or oral medicine specialist may be able to make a splint or nightguard that will help too.

Get treatment: Medicines only provide 'superficial' treatment for tmj. You need treatment from a trained dentist who can diagnose and treat this problem...Most likely with a special night guard.

Team Approach: Tmj dysfunction can be difficult to treat. Working with a dentist that treats TMJ along with an osteopath that does manipulation can help. Sometimes injections into the joint are necessary to calm down inflammation (steroids) or to strengthen the joint (prolotherapy or prp).

All sedating: Prescription muscle relaxant all have sedative properties. some more, some less. See a TMJ expert. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
