Hi Nick,
I'm on Lexapro 20 mg and Lithium 450 mg. I was taking Tramadol 50 mg and stopped recently. I've been taking all of these for a while.
I just started Suboxone 2 mg and I think that's when the twitching started. My pdoc put me on it to help with depression and anxiety (I've taken it before and it helped my mood). I had a problem w/substance abuse (particularly benzos) in the past, so he's more comfortable with giving me Sub than a benzo. (He actually won't prescribe a benzo because of my history, which is driving me crazy because I'd like to use Klonopin as a mood stabilizer.)
I've gotten to a point where I want to keep it as simple as possible w/meds. I don't like the side effects that come along with mood stabilizers, APs, etc., and I'm sick of the trials and finding the right dose, etc.
Anyway, now I have the twitching/jerking thing going on.
Thanks for responding.
