In reply to Eyelid is still twitching and has been since 2/26., posted by Colleen D. on March 17, 2005, at 18:43:36
> I don't think I can tolerate it much longer. I think it's from the Cymbalta. God I hate to think of making another switch because of this! Has anyone done well on just Wellbutrin and Klonopin? Perhaps I could just taper off the Cymbalta and see how I do AND if the twitching goes away. Are Cymbalta caps filled with beads like Effexor so that I could divide them and taper without another prescription?

Wow, that's weird. When I did my Cymbalta trial several months back I got the eyelid twitch (only on the right side) within hours of the first dose of Cymbalta. I dropped Stratterra that I was also taking, and it helped some, but it was still there off and on (at microdoses even). I never got any twitchies from Effexor. I guess you could taper off of it, but if you need a serotonergic med for your anx., the WB + Klon. combo alone might not cut it.
