The other night I was lying in bed and couldn't sleep again...I felt rather anxious but I had nothing to take. All of a sudden my body began twitching and jerking sporadically. Sometimes it was my arm or leg, other times my entire body would violently twitch. This continued for some time until in desperation I took 100mg of my daily sulpuride to calm me down. Since then I got myself some oxazepam to take when I'm anxious, and the twitches have stopped, but every now and again I still have a little twitch here and there, especially if I'm just lying down watching TV. I haven't been able to reach my doctor for a few days (I think he might be on holiday or something) but I did some internet research and it says the twitching could be caused by anxiety. It tends to happen at night when I'm trying to sleep, and not really in the day.
Does anyone have any more information on this? I recently went on Paxil but I take my dose in the morning so I don't see how it would cause twitching at night.
