Twitching Eyes

[Gloria_carr]

Does anybody else has twitching eye every so often my right eye twiches so much. Its annoying!😩

[Gloria_carr]

Well i dont feel exhausted maybe i"m

subconsciously. Anxious about my trip

[jbc32448]

It's called a blepharospasm it's an involuntary movement. Try a deep breath in & out ...eye drops to relieve irritation, and yoga to relax. There is a shot, but it will have to be taken again.

My eye twitches when im anxious. The more anxious the worse it is.

[Struggling777]

Yes sometimes get twitching eyes when I'm tired -- usually in the right eye for some reason. It's a weird sensation.

[Gloria_carr in reply to Struggling777]

Yes it is i think i look @ my screen to much also & it do happen when i"m tired

Twitching in various parts of the body are a common symptom of anxiety. The twitches seem to move around sometimes. Nothing to be overly concerned about.

[Gloria_carr in reply to menagerie11]

Yeah i never had twiching like this until the aniexty hit & after the headaches started its so annoying

[menagerie11]

It truly is annoying, but the key is to simply accept it and eventually it will stop. Mine did.

[Gloria_carr in reply to menagerie11]

You is right again when i accept that its there it stops plus i dont get adequate sleep😩 i be up all night sometimes 4 hours of sleep & thats off & on

[menagerie11]

You really need to get more sleep. That is not enough. Have you spoken to your doctor about your sleeping? You might need something mild to help you sleep better. You could also try drinking chamomile tea and listening to sleep-inducing music; there are some excellent sleep/calm music videos on youtube. I also have a small snack before I go to bed, wear socks, use a heavy blanket...all of which help with sleeping - and I use black-out curtains and no noise in the bedroom, other than calming music.

[Gloria_carr in reply to menagerie11]

Yes i spoken to my Dr about my sleep she started me on a 50 mg dose of the noritriptline i havnt started it yet because i"m.out of town i notice that it havnt twitched in a couple of days now & i going to try your advice with the music tea etc... & next weekend i will let u know how things go!👌

[Hardluck in reply to Gloria_carr]

I'm on 10 mg of Nortriptyline. 50 mg seems a bit robust.

[Gloria_carr in reply to Hardluck]

10 will do nothing for me i have hernated disc in my neck & back was given 25mg for depression & nerve pain so 50 is a graduation party 25mg barley puts me to sleep

[Gloria_carr in reply to Hardluck]

Ive seen ppl taken 75mg for migraine you must take it for sleep or your on alot of other medicines

[Hardluck in reply to Gloria_carr]

That's it. Plus .5 mg of Clonazepam every morning.

[Gloria_carr in reply to Hardluck]

Can i ask why your on 10mg nortriptyline for

[Hardluck in reply to Gloria_carr]

Anxiety/depression. I've tried them all. Amitriptyline was great for sleep, but I put on 10 kgs in 6 weeks.

[Gloria_carr in reply to Hardluck]

What is 10kgs is that 10lbs

[Hardluck in reply to Gloria_carr]

22 pounds.

[Gloria_carr in reply to Hardluck]

Oh ok i understand now

[menagerie11]

Great! I really hope these things work for you. Getting a good night's sleep is important for so many reasons - both physical and mental. I used to sleep without socks, but since sleeping with socks and a heavier blanket, I sleep more soundly...as well as the calming music, tea, etc. All the best. I hope you have a very restful week of sleep!
