I don't know if this is available in the UK but i know there is a genetic test you can get to determine which type of meds will work for your body and avoid a lot of the trial and error of SSRIs/side effects. I only know it exists, but nothing about how you go about getting it or what it costs. But I do know several people who have done it and quickly found the exact med that works best for them.
To comment on the twitching, I've had twitching just about everywhere!! My tongue was twitching just the other day when my stress level got very high (my daughter was in the hospital). I also have TMJ and get migraines so when I'm stressed out I tend to clench my jaw and it can cause all kinds of head/neck symptoms including tingling and twitching all over my face.
Also, I Googled for you also and it said, "even the tongue may be affected" re: BFS.
