Muscle Twitching And Spasms
Posted: 10-19-04 20:46pm

I'm 45 and have been recently told that i'm suffering from moderate depression / anxiety. Has anyone had those terrible tics / muscle twitching that keep you from sleeping.

My doctor is convinced it is as result of stress/anxiety.


Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Do you workout a lot? Working out can cause twitching too. If you don't work out, then i'd agree with your doctor that it's the stress. I personally have never had it, but i've heard of people who have and i've known one person who has had it. He was taking medicine for anxiety and I figured it might be the medicines that he was on??

Yes, I agree with the above but would also add that if it's not meds & you'er not working out then consider doing some relaxation, yoga, meditation or similar which may help.
