Do the twitches worsen with increased anxiety or stress?
Also:Are fingers a frequent site of EPS twitching or dystonia?
Do EPS twitches prognosticate the development of tardive dyskinesia (TD)?
Is twitching a startup effect that will dissipate?
I haven't researched this stuff well enough to provide answers to these questions.
