Specializes in Gastroenterology

Not usually.: A twitchy eye is not a usual side effect of Dexilant (dexlansoprazole). Having said that, anyone can have unusual reactions to any medication, so if it appears to be related temporally, then I would talk to the doctor who prescribed it about potentially switching to a different medication. For now, I would continue taking it at the usual dosage schedule.
