Cymbalta and twitching?

[StepsForward]

I've been on Cymbalta since around Christmas of 2013 and started at 20 mg.  I've now been up to 90 mg for about 2 months now and have noticed twitching throughout my body; fingers, toes, feet, arms, legs and sometimes especially when i'm laying down or before bed, my whole body just jerks for about 3-5 seconds at a time, it feels so weird.  Would this be related to Cymbalta? I've read into this on the internet and said it could be tardive dyskinesia.  Has anyone else experienced this?


Thank you!

Thank you for the information! I'm not too worried about it, just figured I'd post a question to see if others experienced it as well.
Thanks again

   Anti-depressants in that class can sometimes cause temporary
movement disorders which can be treated with a side effect
pill within a psychiatrist's clinical discretion. Tardive dyskinesia
is a more uncommon reaction. The important thing to do
would be to discuss this with your psychiatrist. They would do a movement
disorders test to see if movement disorder you are experiencing is temporary or permanent.
   If they found any further evidence
of tardive, they would then refer you to a movement disorders
specialist for further follow up and treatment. For more information
google "Patient Education Tardive Dyskinesia" (note as the site
itself says "some of these medications may be medically necessary")
Also there is a clinically detailed page on Emedicine on tardive
you could show to your psychiatrist and discuss. If the movement
disorders continue to be a concern and cannot be mitigated
there are other options as regards anti-depressents you could
discuss with your psychiatrist.
