See doctor: It sounds like you have several things going on. Lack on sleep can cause many problems. I hope you are working with a doctor on the withdrawal. Possible pinched nerve. See your doctor for an evaluation and find out what is going in. Good luck.

Yes there is: There is a possibility. Try to find a neuromuscular dentist in your area to help you. Also have a sleep study done.
