Adult on set tics

Adult on set tics

I am a 54 year old female who up until a year a go was in good health.  I lifted weights 2 times a week and ran 3 to 5 miles 3 or 4 times a week.  I was running and stopped for a light and then suddenly fell into the street and could not figure out why.  I also started getting very fatigued after exercise so had to stop.  A few months latter I had what I thought was a heart attack but when checked it was not.  After some tests the heart doc stated that my heart looked in great shape but I did have a slight irregular beat but even that was hard to detect.  Then one visit the left side of my chest started started monving on it own going up and down.  The doc was watching and said that is not your heart but looks like myoconus and refered me to a Nuro Doc.  When he saw this happen he sent me to a movement specialist.  The movements have gotten wrose to like twisting move and can cause me to be very fatigued.  They are worse after moving around like walking or doing household chores.   I also now have insomnia.  My arms sometimes jerk out but not often and I do clear my throat a lot but always have.  Oh and I have always twitched my toes.   They have done MRIs bolld work EEGs and nerve tests that show nothing.  The doc and her associate say I have tics.  I have tried a lot of meds but I have a lot of side bad effects from them that were so bad I had to take a leave from my job and they did not make much difference.  Now I have to be very careful to not get stressed or fatigued as they aggravate my symptons especially if I have a bad night.  I am only working part time do to the stress.  I had to go to my GP to get PT as the nuro docs jsut wanted to try meds.  The PT is helping but I feel I need more help managing my fatigue.  I was not depressed but now I am starting to feel depressed.  I feel the docs treat me like your not so bad now live with it.  I just don't know what to do.   Oh ya this all started after taking Pristiq for 6 month.  Any one got any suggestions????

Could be from side effects to withdrawal symptoms of Pristiq. All you symptoms are listed under Pristiq side effects. eHealthMe website lists 3,244 Pristiq side effects in total.

Drugs also deplete nutrients. One nutrient deficiency is magnesium deficiency which also lists your symptoms. There are many ways to deplete magnesium but prescription drugs and stress are two of them.
