Ll!
I wasn't the poster who Jost mentioned but, following a nose dive into a nervous breakdown, going on and off Effexor in December, I seem to have these same fasciculations, as well. (And some mild myoclonus/twitching concentrated mostly around when I'm about to slumber off to zzz land, but not restricted to that liminal, betwixt sleep and waking state.) Not really sure if it's the torment of my anxiety or something that the meds set off, but I'm going to the neurologist on Tuesday and will let you know if I find out anything else about it. My pcp thinks I need an MRI.
Someone else had also posted that she'd gotten myoclonus that disappeared on Parnate (I may be getting all this wrong!) and that she and the neuro couldn't quite figure it out. Maybe this is something less uncommon than we think????
It is a little creepy and annoying, though, I have to say. Like little snaky gremlins all up under your skin...
