muscle jerking i have jto idea if it's the anxiety of fibro or both but it has been with me nearly every day

This was one of my first fibro symptoms. I would get horrible twitching mostly in my legs. So bad I couldn't sleep at times. Anxiety definitely makes it worse for me. Occasionally I take Flexeril if it gets really bad, but I try not to take it regularly due to other side effects (drowsiness, dry mouth, etc). Usually after a few days or a week or two it goes away until the next major flare.

For me the twitching as I call it, the doctor says, is a side affect of my medication. I am not sure but any neurotransmitter medications will have some effects on our muscles. Our muscles read messages from the brain in our body and my Cymbalta, Pregabalin, Tramacet, interrupts those messages. Does that make sense. ps; i don't have migraines and i get those symptoms

When I was on @Cymbalta and they increased my dosage I would get horrible twitching/jerking.

hey lovely i also experience muscle spasms and jerks all the time and the more tired I become the more I seem to get these things. you ain't alone x
