Anxiety-related muscle twitches. Does anyone get them?

[maeve]

Hey Rafterman,
Shoot I am sorry to hear your wife is struggling with both anxiety and annoying twitches. I know t is possible for twitches to be caused by anxiety so hopefully knowing that eases her worries. Has she possibly looked into something like gabapentin?  That can be used to help calm the nerves. Also, maybe look into some type of muscle relaxant to help like baclofen?  And definitely treating the anxiety isn’t importantly since that’s the underlying factor. Does she’s use anything to treat that?  Benzos of course are a go to in treating anxiety but if she wanted to look into something else or if benzodiazepines haven’t helped her, buspirone could work (also taking it everyday could help avoid anxiety rather than treating it as it happens). And as weird as this sounds, my psychiatrist prescribed me to take vyvanse each morning and it works wonders for me


I hope she finds some relief!  Happy weekend!
(Oh and of course try some meditation, yoga, or perhaps a massage to relief some anxiety and stress
