Question 1

has anyone experienced muscle spasms while on welbutrin?

Accepted Answer

Not the most common: Everyone is an individual. Muscle pain occurs in about 2% of patients on wellbutrin (bupropion). However, unusual, you may have this reaction to wellbutrin (bupropion).

Question 2

was prescribed cyclobenzaprine for muscle spasms is it okay to take this at night due to taking lexapro and wellbutrin in the morning?

Accepted Answer

: There are warnings about potential serious interactions among these three medications. I'd be cautious about using them together. Your pharmacist may have more information about this.

Question 3

i've had muscle spasms i think are from prozac (@30mg now). they got worse over the weekend, as in volume.  also on wellbutrin (bupropion) (200mg). mainly distal.

Accepted Answer

Odd side effect: and not likely. are you sure your not dehydrated? if your not eating, your dehydrated and this is causing your spasms.

Question 4

can wellbutrin (bupropion) cause muscle spasms and twitches? is this ok? how can i know if i am having a seized? i'm also on zoloft

Accepted Answer

No: Wellbutrin's side effects include muscle aches but not spasms. If you have any questions about side effects of medication it is best to ask the physician who prescribed it. You can also refer to the medication information that the pharmacy should provide with your prescription. Make sure all your physicians are aware of all medications you take to avoid medication interactions.

Question 5

back and shoulders are knotted up from muscle spasms. i have ms. why would the area feel hot to touch, but no where else? i'm currently relapsing.

Accepted Answer

Hot: Localized increase in temperature may represent localized infection called cellulitis. Seek medical attention

Question 6

im scared i have ms or parkinsons. im coming off the med geodon and i am having muscle spasms, twitching and tingling. i cant see the neurologist until nov. does this sound like either disease? or withdrawal? both have same sx?

Accepted Answer

: If you were on high dose of Geodon, those symptoms could be withdrawal symptoms, do not imagine such worst conditions.

Question 7

hip/ butt muscle spasms on left side like charlie horse.  recent ms dx. possible symptom? very painful lasted 2 days already. suggestions?

Accepted Answer

SOME THOTS: Pain is very common in ms, and can present numerous ways, and even migraine is present in ms pts at a frequency of 2-4 times normals.  However, your muscle spasms could represent a separate process in hip, back, pelvis. (unlikely, but if you were given steroids, check for avascular necrosis in hip).  Lastly, do not want to second guess your doc, but there are oral meds now (no needles).

Question 8

i have been diganosed with both trigeminal neralgia and occipital neuralgia. i also have some memory problems and muscle spasms . could i have ms?

Accepted Answer

Consult Neurologist: Trgeminal neuralgia has been reported in patients with ms.You have to ask this question from your neyrologist as he/she is the only one can tell you if you do or not based on your symptoms, examination and MRI exam etc .
So consult your neurologist about ms and you.

Question 9

muscle spasms legs, feet and side back come and go, mild but noticeable. had for 1 month. is it ms, als will i get paralysed ?

Accepted Answer

No: Someone has been reading too many medical horror stories. It is mega highly unlikely that spasms in an otherwise healthy 20 year old represent anything but overuse or electrolyte disturbance. The diseases you mention generally do not begin like that. See your family doc for an evaluation and reassurance of the correct diagnosis, so you can get this problem resolved.

Question 10

good morning, it's been a while i have symptoms of eye muscle spasm in my right eye feels like sharp sticking a needle, is this one of the symptoms of ms? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: A leading symptom of "MS" is intranuclear ophthalmoplegia, but this is usually non-painful, and can be elicited by a simple eye exam by a neurologist (lateral gaze nystagmus).  Simple muscle spasm which is painful is usually not a symptom of "MS".  Get a referral to a neurologist or ophthalmologist.
