Hello everyone. I have an issue I am hoping to get some info or advice on. About 2 1/2 weeks ago I started getting strong twitches when I would lay down to go to sleep. They were the real strong all body ones that jerk you back awake. At first I thought they were just normal hypnagogic jerks. I was taking Lexapro for a couple weeks and thought it was that causing it. The Lexapro did have other symptoms that I didnt like so I stopped it after talking to my doctor. I was only on it about 2 weeks. Anyway I thought that the twitching would stop after the Lexapro was out of my system. Well I no longer think that had anything to do with it because they are still happening after being off of the Lexapro for 17 days now.
The twitching is not just when I lay down anymore. Its basically every few minutes on all different parts of the body one at a time. They are very quick, painless, and happen on all different muscles. Best described as a "tic" I guess. Anyway I do also have some back of the neck stiffness and after talking to Dr. Google I found that this might just be a magnesium deficiency. Both of these symptoms are linked to that. Today I went out and bought some supplements and bananas. But even before this I was eating at least one banana a day.
Anyway I am just trying to get some ideas as to what this might be? How long should I wait before possibly seeing a neurologist?
