In reply to leg twitching, posted by llrrrpp on June 14, 2006, at 8:36:24
Recently someone else on pbabble mentioned this type of problem. They were taking cymbalta and said the twitching stopped when they either lowered dose or stopped cymbalta. (I searched and didn't see it--but it was in the last 2-3 weeks or so.)
The twitching could be a lot of things, including even just tension, fatigue, tension&fatigue, dehydration, paxil, celexa, or other things (from a quick check of babble)--either doing them or stopping doing them.
Are you drinking enough water? Sleeping enough?
I got a twitch (near my eye--of course not a large muscle group) possibly from using low-dose seroquel--or possibly from something else, or from being tense and tired-- I stopped the seroquel and it went away-- but I'm not sure that was it-- Probably stopping seroquel could also cause it.
These non-specific symptoms, even a large muscle group, can be caused by lots of things-- if you have a theory, check the progress re: that thing, say if it's seroquel, if it goes away over the next week or so.
Maybe Phillipa or the other person will give a more specific answer. Don't panic-- although disconcerting, it'll get better.
