I am up to the 40mg of Paxil and my muscles in my legs will twitch every now and then. Anyone else with this?

Hey,
Muscle twitching can indicate that your magnesium levels aren't what they should be. Do you take any supplements?
Just a thought.
Kind regards
Meri

Even on magnesium on most SSRI's and SSNRI's my muscles twitch badly so badly I've had to quit most of them. Love Phillipa
