Question: Will muscle relaxers help involuntary movements?

I don't think they are actually muscle spasm, however I used to twitch really bad I don't have tourrettes, but sometimes my leg,neck,shoulder, or corner of my mouth moves by its self. I thought muscle relaxers make you really drowsy. When I used to have movements like this it was more like I couldn't relax for 6 hours and I would twitch a lot. There isn't any pain just twitching that I can't stop the twitching just stops when its ready to go away. I don't know about muscle relaxers if they make you drowsy I have school to do and other important things to me that I do normally. Does it sound wise to see a doctor for this its been happening off and on for about 7 to 8 months.

Answers:

My vote here would be to see a doc. Muscle twitches can be a sign of something else wrong, such as vitamin deficiency or a neural defect. It could be something major or something as simple as stress. If the important things you mentioned cause you stress in any way, I would try a stress relieving method first, such as exercise, meditation, massage, or even a long soak in a hot bath or hot tub. If the twitching persists, it's never a bad idea to check with your doctor. He may suggest muscle relaxers, just be sure to ask him for a formulation with little drowsiness.
