whole face involuntarily starts pulling/scrunching up when closing my eyes

The weirdest and scariest thing has been happening these last 2 days. It oddly enough started when I was praying. I had my eyes closed and started praying then my eyes started sealing shut extra hard as if I could imagine what might happen when you die. This continued to happen these past 2 days every time I close my eyes and relax them. Now when I close my eyes my whole face starts pulling/ scrunching up. My upper lip gets stuck upward. My nose gets scrunched up. My forehead looks angry. My eyes even looked scarily angry. I seriously look demonic when this happens. It's happening almost everytime I close my eyes and relax them..especially when I look up with my eyes closed. What the hell could this be?Does it sound like this?> I'm on zyprexa (antipsychotic) and it's known to cause muscle spasms and it says do not miss any doses because it has withdrawl symptoms,and so stupid me missed 2 doses. Or could it be anxiety which I do suffer from heavily. Could it be neurological? Could it be some kind of eye nerve problem? Could it be nerves? I did get my lip pierced not too long before this.maybe hit a nerve?Any other ideas or advice would be extremely valued. Thank you in advance.

Hey Jackie, thank you. :) I don't know what it is but it is scary. That Zyprexa is an anti-psychotic and it has alot of gnarly side effects. Ok thank you very much for your advice. I will do these things. Take care and have a nice weekend. :)

Shew it does sound like all of the above..... I suggest remove the lip ring....and see if that helps.... it could also be the medication and its not agreeing with you at all... They usually have many side effects...and its also probably cause you missed a dose....I suggest you chat with your GP .....
