Involuntary movements an issue? have invol. movements only when i try sleeping. lip puckering/ twitching. jaw moving. muscle twitch. face twitching.

Unusual: A neurologist is needed for a problem of this complexity. A side effect of Ritalin (methylphenidate) is always a possibility.

Unusual: Several things can cause muscle twitching. All of them need some attention if this problem is progressive or continues. It is common to have occasional twitching, but especially with so many different muscle groups around the face being involved, it would be good to know exactly what is going on. Blood chemicals, medications, tourette's syndrome, nerve problems are just some causes.

Could be normal.: Involuntary movements may occur during the dreaming phase of sleep. Some people may have difficulty getting to sleep because they worry a lot and when they finally fall asleep their muscles twitch which can cause them to wake up. It can also happen when you are very tired and yet you may have a hard time to relax and sleep. I wouldn't worry too much about this.
