Today I'm 202 days since I developed calf twiches and very very mild cramping. Saw 3 neuros, EMG, MRI, CT, blood work and everything came back normal. I do have a mild radiculopathy on L5S1. Everything seems ok and I haven't developed only weakness.
4 Months ago I have started Paxil (SSRI) and worked super as I was not concerning at all. I had days when twitching stopped or I barely noticed them and days when I had them almost all day and very very annoying. Sometimes I have like 1-2-3 seconds twitching with breaks all over the place and they jump around but those are still not concerning me.
Today I started to read again some stories (people who twitched for years and developed ***) and the Anxiety is not the same as it was before, but unfortunately I acquired a sad mood and lost focus at work again.
I hope everything will be good again. My PCP insists that they are just nervous ticks which are increased in some periods full of stress, however, I agree with him.
Also, after I stoped benzos ( Which I was takin prior to develop twitching ) due to my panic attacks, twitching went down.
I started to take Xanax again since the last 2 weeks and twitching seemed to increase. Doc says that this might be the issue here as the symptoms are consistent with benzos intake.
I hope this helps somehow.😢
Do you think 202 days without weakness and an EMG with no spontaneos activity might clear me? Should I take another one now ?
