Stimulants-related bruxism has been previously reported; both diurnal and nocturnal. Here, authors report on a case of methylphenidate (MPH)-treated attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder that developed nocturnal bruxism and failed multiple pharmacologic trials. Add-on clonidine has successfully helped with bruxisms while augmenting MPH response. This was achieved with great tolerability. This remains a viable option to deploy in such unusual clinical scenarios.
