Does anyone experience twitching? I get it in my left hand a lot. It comes out of nowhere. Sometimes it is worse than other times. Anyone experience this, and if so - what do you recommend to get make it stop?

I see you are on Zoloft, right? I am too, and one of the side effects can be twitching. I twitch a loooooooooot as I'm falling asleep and while I'm asleep. It freaks people out hahaha. Anyways, if it's a side effect of that, I'm not sure if you can stop it, although maybe it will go away?

I do the twitching thing a lot also, i think it is just one of the anxiety things that happens to our body, i've not been able to get it to stop, the best thing to do for all those things we hate is to "breath"... i know we all get tired of hearing it but breathing is the only temp (and prayer) that gets me to the next step, like running for the meds!

Actually, I've been off of zoloft since January. The twitching has recently started - about the last month or so. Or at least that is when I started noticing it.

I sit at a computer all day at work and my right pointer finger will shake back and forth-twitch-quite often when it is on my computer mouse, my legs spasm too. I'm not on any medication and It is pretty persistent. I'm not doctor diagnosed or anything and have never really discussed it but after i had a miscarriage in august it has gotten worse. Stress eats at me and I've noticed the twitching but never really isolated it to be an anxiety issue before I read your post.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
