BeverlyM Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 When I lay down, I'm fine. I lay down and close my eyes... And my head/upper half of my body does this super intense twitching thing every 30 seconds or so. If I try to sleep through it, it gets worse and my whole body starts twitchin. I looked it up online and it said something ab myoclonic jerks, which is when you dream and u feel like you're falling when u wake up. This isn't what I'm talkin ab. I kept lookin and there's also myoclonic seizures which sounds a lot like what's goin on. Is it gonna go away ever? I feel like its gotta be some kind of withdrawal BC it never happens unless I quit takin Adderall. I just wanna sleep and I can't BC I wake up in "shocks" it feels like. Its like my whole body is hiccuping or something except mostly in my head. I sound crazy probably, but damn, this shit gets old real fast. If anyone knows how to prevent it PLEASE let me know.

Zerokewl Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I remember the twitches. Eye and calves it went away all on its own but I can't recall when. All I can recommend for sleep and water and maybe some Melatonin (over the counter natural sleep aid). Early recovery is a bit of a trip due to re-calibration of brain chemistry. Some form exercise may help. How long have you been clean ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doge Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I only experienced mild twitching in my eyes and fingers, which has almost completely stopped now. (though randomly it flares up from time to time, but really mild and really rare). I don't know if you're experiencing a more intense version of the same thing, or if it's something different. Especially since you say you have a history of suffering from seizures, maybe it could be something else that you may have just not noticed when you were high on adderall? I dunno, but I don't think you shoud be too quick to just write the symptoms off as withdrawal, it might be worth visiting a doctor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonvoice Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I've had twitching in the middle of my forehead (in time with my thoughts) for five months now. I doubt your case will be as bad - but I've noticed that the twitching has been getting a little better with time, and I'm hoping it'll fade completely. Just know you're not the only one going through this! Best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
