I'm assuming again that this has no relation to the TD? Just looking for a second assumption.

No the muscle twitches of effexor, are not the same. Meds which 'classically' cause TD & EPS are the major tranqs. There is some debate if the SSRIs & effexor cause them ? is is very uncommon if it occurs.

5HTP & dextromethorphan will cause myoclonic twitches as will SSRIs & effexor & [b]anxiety[/b]. They are caused by an excitable myo-neural junction or excitable /irritable muscle membrane.
beta blockers do not block the twitches.
the effect can be countered in many by magnesium & vit E supplements.
These are 2 very different med side effects.
