I have been twitching for over a year now. About three months ago, my symptoms "flared", and I now have developed a slight tremor, and feel small electrical impulses in my tongue. This morning, I woke up to a full blown twitch in my tongue. I have begun taking Effexor XR 37.5 mg to try to relieve some anxiety, but two weeks in, it's not helping. My tongue feels swollen and raw, and the twitch is scaring the crap out of me. I also notice that I twitch more when trying to fall asleep, and upon waking. Has anyone else had these "flares" that led to another twitch? How about the tongue? I am an anxious wreck. Please help.
