Fluoxetine & Twitchy right eye

Anyone else had eye twitch on Fluoxetine/Prozac.
My eye has been niggling me and a bit twitchy for a couple of days, worse today and I can actually see it twitching when I look in the mirror.
I am on day 13 at 20mg and never taken ad's before.

TIA

I have had periods of my life where I have been on Fluoxetine for several months at a time. I also have an intermittent twitchy eye which started at around the same time. Not sure though if it was the ADs or the anxiety that the ADs were treating that might have caused the twitch Confused

Fluoxetine can have all sorts of unexpected side effects and I've come across twitchy eyes before. Stick with it, it normally subsides after a week or so.

I have suspected that Quetiapine gives me a twitchy eye, but I've also had it when I'm tired and stressed (and not on any med's). I also get it if I drink waaaaay too much caffeine.

I get the twitchy eye when I'm tired or stressed, when not on meds.

Twitchy eye when tired, stressed or low on vitamins (might be b vitamins). I'd take a good multivitamin a day for a few weeks to see if that helped.
