Twitching eyelids = blepharospasm ?

Posted by cgd092 on January 4, 2007, at 18:35:05

About a week ago I started Lamotrigine (Lamictal). I'm only on 25mg/day so far. Now I have a lot of eyelid twitching. I found this on the net:
From: http://www.blepharospasm.org/2002jankovic.html
Tardive dystonia is probably the most common cause of secondary dystonia, including blepharospasm [Jankovic, 1995; Mauriello et al, 1998]. Tardive dystonia consists of a persistent dystonic movement involving chiefly the face, jaws, neck, trunk, and arms. Blepharospam may be the initial presentation of tardive dystonia [Sachdev, 1998]. In addition to dopamine-receptor blocking drugs (neuroleptics), there are other drugs that can cause blepharospasm, including lithium [Micheli et al, 1999], lamotrigine [Verma et al, 1999], and others [Mauriello et al, 1998].

What do you think? I also take 100mg/day of Seroquel and 40mg/day of Celexa.
Too much drugs?
