I am bipolar 2 (depressive) and take 200 mg. of Lamictal, 300 Wellbutrin, 30mg. Cymbalta and 100mg. Serequel for sleep. I am doing really well, but I have a problem with twitching- is this from the medicines?

It certainly could be, but the only way to be sure is to talk to your doctor, figure out when it started, and which medication it might be.
