Sertraline and muscle twitches

[candle18]

Was on 50 mg for a while and went up to 100mg about 10 days ago. I‘ve noticed that I’m getting some muscle twitches in various parts of my body/face, like the type you get on your eyelid. Could this be a side effect, anyone else had this?

I've got this at the moment. I'm not on sertraline though I'm on Mirtazipine. There was a thread on here not long ago I'll try and link it.

I can't find it but one of the things that was discussed was something called benign fasciculation. My twitching is mainly in my leg but it did spread to my back and face. Its just in my leg now.

I had this with citalopram in first 2 weeks, it has gone now.

Thanks all, hopefully it’s a side effect that will go soon
