Does anyone ever experience twitching from their anxiety? My eye lid has been twitching for the last few days, and it freaks me out.

I swear, you and I have the same symptoms! Once I had an eye twitch that lasted for over a year. Try not to worry. I blame mine on stress and lack of sleep. I don't sleep much. It will be ok!

Yes and it is so annoying, my legs twitch and my head, I have essential tremors which I take ativan for as well as for my anxiety, and my twitching has been of the hook even with the ativan because of my anxiety.

i had an eye twitch that lasted 3 weeks....drinking tonic water is a remedy...

amazing, I thought I was the only one that had the twiches and shaking and jerking....If I take xanax and vicidon and mirapex, it helps but I hate taking all that meds, but I can't take the jettering feeling either....

I am a twitcher too. My lip twitches, my eyelid, my thing muscles and my bicep have all had twitching issues in the past.

deleted_user 05/24/2011

I get that to and it's scaring me. Feels like popcorn poping in my calves. Anyone experience that??

My eyelid twitches when it is dry, so I use eyedrops to keep it moist.
I have tremors in the hands, and in the face when acute anxiety arrives to help.
I just try to make sure I am hydrated as that seems to reduce the length and severity of the tremors.

deleted_user 05/24/2011

I definitely twitch. Mostly in my hands and arms, but when I'm having a full on anxiety attack it's like full body shakes and jerks. It's so frustrating!

deleted_user 05/24/2011

I get twitching at times. Eye lid if one of them. Along with little twitches in my muscles in my legs.

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!
