Twitching driving me mad

[Alisonj]

Its 1:30 am here and I cannot sleep because I am having super strong twitches in my thumb and leg constantly. I am sure they are withdrawal related as I am still trying to wean off ativan and each time I take alittle less the twitches get worse. But typically there is also the side that worries it more. I am waiting on an MRI appt and it will be a couple months for that :(
Plus I found out that my gp has been sued twice. Once for misdiagnosing cancer for a boil and it ended up spreading everywhere for the person and they are lucky to be alive. So now I am doubting him very badly. I know that he has me on too many meds but he doesnt help at all. Cant see anyone else due to doctor shortages. I desperately want to just get things dealt with and feel well and have one day without worry.

If you are in doubt, then you should either change doctor if you can, as you will not feel happy and the situation may spiral out of control. I too twitch and have done for many many years, ever since my anxiety has been present. I would really put this down to either tiredness/anxiety related. This condition is very common in anxiety orientated people. I hope you can find some relief.

thank you. It went on most of the night but is better at the moment. Its not an option to switch doctors until he retires because of the doctor shortage
