In reply to What's causing my twitches?, posted by stickywicket on May 23, 2006, at 14:45:53
First guess...wellbutrin.
Second guess...depakote.Wellbutrin can cause tremors and other weird movements.
Depakote is known to cause tremors. When I took it I got a little twitch in my eye. It went away in a week by itself. But I also got restless legs syndrome. That was at just 500mg. By itself it didn't do that, but with lexapro in the background it did. Later with zoloft it did it even worse. Depakote gave me tremors in certain resting positions, like leaninig on an elbow or something like that.
Cymbalta might not be directly causing it, but in the presence of wellbutrin and/or depakote could be a contributing factor, though probably not the main cause.
Seroquel could do that. I discovered that with just 25mg I got restless legs syndrome from it. It's hard for me to imagine 12.5mg could cause a problem. But stranger things have happened.
> I can't stand these stupid twitches. Just when I'm trying to rest or go to sleep, they start up all over my body (but only one twitch at a time). What's causing them? My meds are:
