===Medications=== Certain stimulant drugs, including both prescribed and recreational drugs, are thought by some to cause the development of bruxism.<ref name="Wassell 2008" /> However, others argue that there is insufficient evidence to draw such a conclusion.<ref name="Winocur 2003">{{cite journal |vauthors=Winocur E, Gavish A, Voikovitch M, Emodi-Perlman A, Eli I |title=Drugs and bruxism: a critical review |journal=Journal of Orofacial Pain |volume=17 |issue=2 |pages=99β111 |year=2003 |pmid=12836498}}</ref> Examples may include [[dopamine agonist]]s,<!--<ref name="Scully 2008" /> --> [[dopamine antagonist]]s,<!--<ref name="Scully 2008" /> --> [[tricyclic antidepressant]]s,<!--<ref name="Scully 2008" /> --> [[selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor]]s,<!--<ref name="Scully 2008" /> --> [[Alcohol (drug)|alcohol]],<!--<ref name="Scully 2008" /> --> [[cocaine]],<!--<ref name="Scully 2008" /> --> and [[amphetamine]]s (including those taken for medical reasons).<ref name="Scully 2008" /> In some reported cases where bruxism is thought to have been initiated by selective [[serotonin]] reuptake inhibitors, decreasing the dose resolved the side effect.<ref name="Glick 2003" /> Other sources state that reports of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors causing bruxism are rare, or only occur with long-term use.<ref name="Buescher 2007" /><ref name="LOBBEZOO 2006" /> Specific examples include [[levodopa]] (when used in the long term, as in [[Parkinson's disease]]),<!--<ref name="LOBBEZOO 2006" /> --> [[fluoxetine]], [[metoclopramide]], [[lithium (medication)|lithium]], [[cocaine]], [[venlafaxine]],<!--<ref name="LOBBEZOO 2006" /> --> [[citalopram]],<!--<ref name="LOBBEZOO 2006" /> --> [[fluvoxamine]],<!--<ref name="LOBBEZOO 2006" /> --> [[3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine|methylenedioxyamphetamine]] (MDA), [[methylphenidate]] (used in [[attention deficit hyperactive disorder]]),<ref name="Winocur 2003" /> and [[gamma-hydroxybutyric acid]] (GHB) and similar [[gamma-aminobutyric acid]]-inducing analogues such as [[phenibut]].<ref name="Winocur 2003" /> Bruxism can also be exacerbated by excessive consumption of [[caffeine]],<ref name="Winocur 2003" /> as in coffee, tea or chocolate. Bruxism has also been reported to occur commonly comorbid with [[drug addiction]].<ref name="LOBBEZOO 2006" /> [[Methylenedioxymethamphetamine]] (MDMA, ecstasy) has been reported to be associated with bruxism,<ref name="Winocur 2003" /> which occurs immediately after taking the drug and for several days afterwards. Tooth wear in people who take ecstasy is also frequently much more severe than in people with bruxism not associated with ecstasy.
