Side effect-Twitches

[beth0277]

Good morning-For anyone on Paxil (or any medication for anxiety) have you ever noticed small twitches in your legs? I have them which seems to have started around the same time that I started my Paxil. They aren't very noticeable but I assume I am being hyper-sensitive to all symptoms.

Any input?

Yes, I had the leg twitches too while I was on Paxil. They were really terrible at night. They might go away or you might have to put up with them. Cutting my dose down did help a little.

I was on Paxil a few months ago and it gave me twitches and tremors. I think it is pretty normal to experience a little twitching on SSRIs when you first start using them. Your dosage also might be too high.

Thanks. I'm sure it is not a side effect that everyone gets.

I have been on Paxil for more than 5 years and have not noticed twitches.
