Side Effects & Photos From Snowbound Day
Well, starting on Wednesday, I started noticing these little muscle twitches in my right leg. They would happen every once in a while. No pain. Just this weird spasm feeling. By last night they had spread to my right hip and arm. Today they’ve gotten to my left leg.
I had my mom research my meds to see if this could be a side effect of one of them. I’ve been on all my meds from three to six months, so I don’t know why this would suddenly happen, but it did. My mom thought at first that it might be a potassium deficiency but I’ve actually been eating a banana a day for the last month — sometimes two if I have a smoothie. Well, of course, it was the last one she looked up — the last one to look up. Ambitiptyline, which is my anxiety med, but it generally prescribed for depression. I take it to “quiet” my brain so I can sleep.
I still puzzled over why it would start now. She thinks it just built up over time. I think it’s because I’ve been eating healthy for 5 weeks and the sugar-coating that built up inside me is no longer there to cushion and protect. :hehe:
Anyway, I have been told that if it gets any worse, then I have to call the doctor though I was really trying to wait until March when I’m scheduled to go in anyway. Right now, my right leg is twitching every 5 minutes or so and only really when I’m sitting or laying down.
