head twitch

[bergenski]

The muscle above my right eyebrow is continually twitching...it is very strange and pretty annoying. I really can't ever recall anything like this happening before. I would assume it is due to stress, not that I really feel very stressed. Anyone ever have anything like this? What do you think I should do to stop it?

[eyebyte_atWork]

Yes - and it does intensify with stress. The only thing I have found that helps is lessening my stimulant intake (less coffee, cola, cigs). Also getting enough sleeps seems to help too. But I fear that it will never go away completely.

Its freaked me out too when it started and would not stop. After a while you learn to live with it.

Did it start during a notably stressful time in your life? It is totally annoying...feeling your head involuntarily twitching...maybe I should go get a massage or something...

[dubbeltop]

Well that depends on the cause of the stress maybe your eyebrow needs a little exercise. But usually it ends after a couple of hours. Maybe cold water in the face or a walk will help. Anyway im not a doctor so....thats my view. Look on yahoo at 'facial muscle spasm' :) smiling reduces stress :) :)

It still does when I have a large project where I put in alot of hours.

Most recently in Jan and Feb - I was putting in something like 60 to 70 hours per week and still having all the other crap I do (like the MBTI freeware I wrote while I was a bit bored inbetween other things I was doing). My lack of sleep is what I think triggered it. I was very twitchy towards the end of that stint.

Anyway - short answer yes - anytime where there is a lot going on I have notice an increase in its frequency and intensity. I used this as a gauge to slow down and get some rest.

sleep, diet, exercise. all tangible things that you can take action to change and will significantly improve everything. get enough rest, eat enough healthy food that you actually have some energy, go for a run (which will actually increase your energy) (oh and do some yoga or something), then you'll feel like you've earned relaxation/luxury time, and everything is better. your mind performs better, your circulation will improve, endorphins, you'll sleep better, everything. it seems so stupidly simple that it's hard to believe it really works and makes that much of a difference but it does.

[bergenski]

go for a run

:shock:




Actually, no, you're right...it is just a matter of doing those things to take care of oneself...it is so weird to have one's head twitch...not a good sign at all...

Mine usually goes away after 10 minutes or so. Fortunately its rare. I've looked at myself in the mirror while it was happening, and mine doesn't show externally.

Do you get them a lot? Do you feel very worried and that's what's causing it?

[Dr. Haight]

One word: Paxil.
It will change your life (and stop the twitch).

[dubbeltop]

Arent those pills on sale ,TWO for the price of one?

[Dr. Haight]

Yes. Send me yo money.

Are you being serious?

[ApeTheDog]

What I think you should do to stop it is send me large amounts of money. You used to work for television or something, did you not?

What you should probably do is relax. Take a bath, smoke some weed, drink some fine liquor and smoke a cigar.

[Dr. Haight]

Absolutely.

Look, I am not an MD. But I was diagnosed, back in the day, by a psychiatrist and determined to have social anxiety issues similar to the ones you read about with an INTP description; probably the same as the rest of you INTPs. The mechanism that keeps you away from social interaction is the heightened sense of anxiety you feel when doing the things that are contrary to your nature; or, personality type. This is my opinion, of course, and is subject to change, if I am handed better information.

However, my fear of crowds, stage fright, nerve twitches, and other things (yes, I know that I am a mess, no need to comment) I would prefer to keep to myself, ended after I was prescribed Paxil. Beta-blockers will work as well if you can predict an anxious situation before it arises; for example, like giving a speech.
Again, I am not an MD, so talk to your primary care doctor, and I assure you, he/she will prescribe you a mild anti-anxiety medication.
Peace out, brother.

[ApeTheDog]

So you're NOT a doctor. Trying to steal our womensfolk eh, "doctor" Haight?

Well, it's just a little twitch...I am not having panic attacks or anything...

[ApeTheDog]

Silence. You had your chance to make things even way more clear than you already did.

Now walk the plank, landlubber.

Are you kidding?
Booya kicks my ass every time I log on.
Anyways, I'm married; believe it or not.

[bergenski]

Not a Medical Doctor.

What kind of doctor are you?

[ApeTheDog]

That's good. As long as you remember that they're our property, and not yours...

[Dr. Haight]

the unemployed kind.

[Dr. Haight]

Yes, loud and clear.
Yesterday I responded to a girl on the other side of the pond, my wife peered over my shoulder, seen her avatar, and promptly slapped me in the head.
So, no worries.

[bergenski]

the unemployed kind.

Oh...PhD in philosophy!

That shit is poison.

[dubbeltop]

Paxil (paroxetine) is subject to FDA warnings, that state Paxil may cause suicide and violence in some children and teenagers. Other studies have shown that self harm and suicidal behavior may increase in some people taking this widely prescribed medication. New studies show that pregnant woman taking Paxil are at greater risk to having a child with rare birth defects.

People who have been victims of these types of serious Paxil side effects may have possible claims against the drug maker. Our lawyers are interesting in speaking to people who may have been harmed by serious Paxil side effects
