Deneb,
Have you spoken with your pdoc about your concerns? It would be helpful to tell him, and perhaps ask why he has prescribed this medication for you; his decision may not change, but in my experience, knowing that a doctor has even just heard my input can make a huge difference in my confidence in their judgement. I know I found it really hard to follow med directions before I knew my current pdoc was willing to work with me, and not just on me.
As for the twitching, have you noticed any correlation with stress? I've never had any twitches or the like linked to my medications, but I get wicked twitches around my eyes and upper arms when I'm under extreme stress, like during the exam period. I'm no expert, though, it's just a thought. If you're really concerned, you should contact your pdoc or pharmacist.
