Muscle spasms now making me so depressed.

Hey everyone,

I posted something similar recently but focusing on the spasms now.

Even though I've been off ssri medication for over 2 months now, which I was on various ones for 4 months which is when spasms started.

My muscle spasms just won't stop, they are all over my body, constantly, when I'm standing up having a fag at back door I can feel my legs, arms, both bum cheeks, sides, feet all having spasms.

I woke up this morning and sides of my torso kept having spasms, back of neck had a good old spasm, then my chest, my leg bicep, it just doesn't stop!

It's even developed onto my cheeks on face recently thankfully that's just a little blip where it does a little one once.

And it happens every time I think something anything at all, bam spasm spasm spasm and spasm.

I've just started taking magnesium supplements 2 days ago as I've seen it can help but my hopes aren't high as these spasms are psychosomatic.

For a little while they seemed to be going early on last week and now they are worse then ever, it's highly uncomfortable and I find it disgusting, and yet get angry and upset with them because I know there is no actual reason for them happening, and I can't figure out why my brain when I think seems to decide to make my muscles just randomly spasm!

I'm returning to work soon and was really hoping that the worst of it all was passing, but it's just come back with avengeance at the moment and can feel myself sliding backwards with it again, last night for the first time in ages I just went to bed really early as I couldn't stand it all anymore it was making me so angry.

Anyone been through this and got past it or any tips on dealing with it? Other then magnesium supplements and exercise?

It's making me feel like not doing anything and it's so prevalent again at the moment I can hardly concentrate on anything else, which is making me more withdrawn again.
