Hi All
I have a thing from time to time where one of my muscles will just start twitching. I believe it's called fasciculation or something like that.Usually it's an eyelid or a muscle on my hand, and twitches a couple of times and then calms down, or a muscle in my calf small twitchies at bedtime.
Last night it was a gigantic muscle in my thigh. I could actually see it contracting. looked like a snake wriggling under the skin. It's still going a bit too. Strong contractions every second for 2 + hours. Then I finally fell asleep.
current meds - cymbalta 60 mg @ bedtime
I have been taking 25 mg seroquel for sleep. I didn't take it 2 nights ago, just to see how the insomnia was doing (still there).Could this abnormal muscle activity be related to not having taken any seroquel for 48 hours?
Phillipa, I remember that you said cymbalta made your legs twitch, was it like this?
Thanks for your input,
-ll
