Does anyone have problems with twitching and talking in sleep
Hello Everyone!
I was wondering if anyone besides me have twitching legs and talking while their sleeping? My hubby says lately I've been twitching (my legs) and talking in my sleep. I'm thinking perhaps it's the meds. Now I'm really feeling crazy. .LoL.......What is this?? Everyday it's something new. I don't sleep much as it is and now I'm talking Dang It!!!! Oh yeah I'm on cymbalta 90 mil since Jan'09 however I've been taking cymbalta60mil for 2yrs. I 'm also taking meloxcam 15mil(2-3months) , nexium 40mil and replevia. Take Care everyone!!! Thanks for what ever input you have for me.
Gentle Hugs!

My legs twitch, jerk and spasm all the time, especially at night. And I do talk and laughing my sleep. This has gone on for years, it's aggravating but my poor hubby is used to it. My internist wanted me to take a sleep study because of it, so I went. At 2:00 am I went home. I tried to tell him that I couldn't sleep in a strange bed especially away from my hubby, they called him at 2 am and he told me to go home....:) Some doctors just don't listen.

Hey there! I just came across these postings! Hilarious! I think this is extremely funny. It reminds me of my hubby and I. I also do the twitchy thing. How annoying! These are the nights that I really don't get sleep. I used to wear braces for carpal tunnel and had to stop wearing them when the hubby kept on complaining that I apparently kept punching him in the nose almost nightly. So I haven't been able to wear them in a few years. But I thought that I had to add my 2 sense into this mix! LOL!
Interactions between your selected drugs
Repliva 21/7 (multivitamin with iron) and Nexium (esomeprazole) (Moderate Drug-Drug)
MONITOR: The profound hypochlorhydria induced by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may impair the gastrointestinal absorption of nonheme iron, a process that is dependent on an acidic environment. The interaction was suspected in two patients with iron deficiency anemia due to gastrointestinal blood loss that were unresponsive to oral iron replacement therapy, even after the bleeding had apparently stopped. Both patients had been on omeprazole for six months while being treated with ferrous sulfate. An iron-loading test was performed on one of the patients and indicated iron malabsorption. Within two months after discontinuation of omeprazole, notable improvements in hemoglobin level and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were observed in both patients, and iron absorption was significantly increased in the patient who underwent absorption testing. In a case review of patients with hereditary hemochromatosis treated at one institution, investigators observed a reduced requirement for maintenance phlebotomy in seven patients following initiation of PPI therapy (mean 2.5 L blood removed/year before PPI therapy vs. 0.5 L/year during PPI therapy), presumably due to reduced tissue iron accumulation stemming from impaired absorption of dietary nonheme iron. Mean annual phlebotomy requirement during PPI therapy in these patients was also lower than that in controls who had never taken a PPI (mean 2.3 L blood removed/year). The same group of investigators also studied iron absorption in 14 patients fed an iron-loaded meal before and after PPI therapy for one week. PPI therapy was associated with a 51% reduction in area under the serum iron concentration-time curve (AUC 0 to 4 hours); a 55% reduction in maximum increase of serum iron following ingestion of iron-loaded meal; and a 46% reduction in percent recovery of administered iron at peak serum iron concentration. Interestingly, the interaction has not been reported in healthy, iron-replete individuals. In a study of 109 patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome who had not undergone gastric resection, omeprazole treatment for an average of 5.7 years did not significantly decrease body iron stores or cause iron deficiency compared to H2-receptor antagonist therapy or no gastric acid-suppressant treatment. It is possible that the interaction may not affect people with healthy iron stores because of compensation by dietary heme iron, which typically comprises only a small fraction of dietary iron but whose absorption is not dependent on gastrointestinal pH. In contrast, dietary heme iron alone may not be sufficient to restore normal iron balance in patients with anemia or those with defective regulatory mechanisms of iron absorption.

You may want to have your iron checked. Since you indicate that this started recently and you have added Meloxcam it may not be working well with the Nexium.
Twitching and spasms are typical of FMS, but since this began at the same time you are sleep-talking, it doesn't sound as if it's due to fibro.

I don't know if it has anything to do with Fibro or med's but ever since I was a child I have had issues with talking, walking and singing (LOL) in my sleep along with muscle twitching that actually is so bad I will wake my self up.
Unfortunately I have also fought in my sleep, punching my poor husband very hard, cuddle back up to him and go back to sleep while he sits there totally bewildered and ticked off about what just happened. :-O. I also have TMJ so I grind my teeth. Fun Fun Fun. Urgg. Amazingly he still loves me. LOL

Hi
My fiance talks in his sleep and also twitches. If you have fibromyalgia this is one of the symptoms. If you take an SSRI this can be a side effect as well. I'm not too sure about SNRIs (like Cymbalta). A lot of people with FMS have muscle spasms and other things happen during sleep.
