Coping with Muscle Twitching

I have had a normal emg, besides carpal tunnel. What started as eye twitch and deltiod twitch in April turned into widespread twitching in April/May 2013. All test are complete except for some labs done a couple of days ago. Still have twitching and its hard to deal with. I have always thought I could deal with stress and I see a lot of posts on here about facics being reduced if stress/anxiety...I'm starting to think I don't handle stress as well as I think I can and am pretty much to the point of just plain out asking the neurologist/family doc for medication. I have a child with down syndrome who will have heart surgery in 2014,I have a mother who has been sick and I check on her everyday, wife was laidoff her Job, and now twitches and fatigue. My job sits me at a computer all day so I feel every twitch cause I'm just sitting there still. Have you guys/gals had benefits from taking antianxiety meds...do they really work?
 
hi there, I a new so not sure If I will be much help, but my doctor has prescribed me some valium and some betablockers which seem to reduce some of the panic attacks I am having - more like a continual heightened sense of anxiety. Just started the betablockers so cant make much comment, the valium help initially although the make me feel doped up! cant win :(
 
Thanks for the reply..my family doctor also mentioned beta blocker due to essential tremor which is worse some days and better on others...but I'm 37 and he wanted a neuro consult first...is your beta blocker for anxiety or essential tremor*
