Man, the eyelid twitch is common when under stress even as a child it happens... No. I didn't develop any eye twitch over any medication. Honestly, just think about all those kids with the eye winking problem, even the moving tension jaw nerve... even other parts of the body seem to activate some sort of discomfort. I get triggers from my finger poppin' on its own when I demand it to move and satisfy the urgent need for relief. Very common without medication and/or diagnosis by the way. It's just part of life, most of us outgrow it without any urgent medical treatment. Sometimes just bringing it up for discussion is as complex as it'll get before you know it is gone! Best to you and I hope you get the answer you're looking for.

Yes, some of the newer anti-psychotics can cause twitches. I think Abilify is the worst for that. Have you looked at the side effect list in the insert notes for your particular med?

btw I've closed the other duplicate/ triplicate posts..obviously DS is playing up again.

Curious fish what you described above from Abilify is Akathisia and it is side effect. That’s involuntary body movements as a sign of needing off that med or lowering dose because if not can cause permanent damage to nerves. That’s what I did. I got off some heavy antipsychotics and practiced CBT in combination of other meds.

I was on Vraylar for 6 months before a really annoying eye twitch surfaced. My doc told me that he could give me another drug to help with the twitching. I said “no” and switched to another drug. The twitch went away after 3 weeks. I hope that you get relief soon.

Benigh myokymia is common and it can be induced without any medication. If you didnt dose up your med before the symptom started, I think the med would not cause myokymia. Mostly it will last for few weeks and disappear. But if it started from march I think it lasted quite long. Sometimes they try clonazepam small dose for twitching. Is it only happens in unilateral, it might be from stimulated small ner which innervates eyelid muscle. Mostly its not a big thing but if you really worried ahout the symptom. And it bothers you a lot you can go to neurologist and try some clonazepam or you can do facial neve conduction study. Dont worry too much. And caffeine limitaion is very important which stimulates nerve. Good luck!

Welcome to the board Pinkcat.... Have you discussed this with your pharmacist?.... If you haven't I would call

You can talk with your doc about a med change if it's too hard to bear .... Big hug... .xo

I had an eye twitching on and off for awhile but it seemed to stop. It seems to be an annoying side effect.
