Does Paxil cause leg muscles to twitch?

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

if legs only, yes - on many ssris and effexor; would assume on cymbalta, also.

here is info and treaments for restless leg syndrome. i've had it since a child, both unmedicated and on the above meds:
