Does zoloft (sertraline) causevtongue and jaw problems?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Not to my knowledge. One study found an incidence of tardive dyskinesia that can effect the jaw and tongue, but the incidence was 0.47% and the majority of people who developed it were also on antipsychotic medications which are known to cause this.

Possibly yes: Ssris, particularly id with fluoxetine, have been associated with jaw clenching, which can cause tooth, jaw, head, and neck pain and tension in the same regions. Call your doctor to discuss further.
