RemindMyselfWhy Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 It's been a month since I last used adderall, but I still find myself twitching sometimes. Not too frequently, just a few times a day my right leg (generally) or part of my body will twitch noticeably. This is not something I ever noticed myself doing before my adderall (ab)use. Does anyone have experience with twitching long after their last dose? I hope this isn't a tic that will stay with me forever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I experienced twitching muscles in my thigh, back and forearm after quitting (4 months today). They all went away after about 24 hours. They may continue to occur in various muscle groups at times for longer than one month, but they should eventually go away, like mine did at some point. I know, it's weird, but Adderall affects everything in our minds and bodies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinybuddha Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I had muscle twitches for over 6 months. The first few weeks the horrible restless leg type syndrome I was getting made me almost give up. It medically does not seem related, but only happened after binges and quitting for an exstended period of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit-once Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I have been adderall free for about 30 months, and I still twitch. Mostly in my feet and legs, and not nearly as intense or as often as when I was using. But I still have these weird deep muscle twitches that I never had before adderall. I have found this twitching activity is related to my body weight...when I gain even a few pounds, the twitching gets noticibly worse. When I maintain a lean body, the twitching stops. I sure hope I didn't fry some nerve tissue from my long term adderall abuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
