Arm Jerking

How can I counteract this drug to help me sleep? My arms are jerking, I am grinding my teeth and loosing concentration. ## Hello, Tim! How are you? It's really just going to take time, you weren't on it for too long, so these withdrawal effects should improve in about a week, or so. What dosage were you taking? Why did you stop taking it? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings, irritability and anorexia.

I would like to know how the medicine effects you over a period of time. Sometimes I wake up at night because I have being jerking, a whole body spasm. This occurs almost every night, sometimes it is only my legs or arms. This didn't start until I started the Suboxone a couple weeks ago. I just want a pictogram or detailed description on what is can do to the brain in the long run. ## I can't send you anything, because you didn't include any contact information in your post. It isn't just your brain that Opiates affect, they also affect the rest of your body and yes, with long term use, some damage can be permanent.

I am 82 and had UTI from the 1st of April. By 16th April , not better, I needed to start on my third lot of Nitrofurantoin. That day I became very ill. My symptoms lasted three days and nights. Every joint was aching. My arm was as sore as if I had bumped it. I hadn't. It hurt to turn my eyes. I had trigeminal pains and my head was aching. I was being sick although I had an empty stomach.the frightening thing was I was shuddering so violently. my arms were jerking uncontrollably. I have never felt so weak and exhausted. The day I stopped taking the medication was the day those symptoms subsided leaving me totally exhausted and weak. How long will it take to get over this. I am taking my last doses of Pivmecillinam today and can tell that the Cystitis has gone , but I am so short of ...

Father's dosage was increased by doctor. I suspect that the nursing home may just want to keep Dad in his wheelchair to keep him from falling, rather than concern for his memory. VA doctors wanted to know why the increase in dosage? Dad is extremely sleepy most of the time, moreso than with the 5 mg dosage. I am not sure if he has had seizures, but he has some jerking arm movements occasionally that I have observed during visits. ## My Mother was diagnosed w/Alz. 14 years before she died.At that time,no meds had been approved for alz. and she started having seizures within 3 years that worsened to the point she would turn over a chair she was in or break the toilet seat off due to the severe contortions. There have been 5 family members of mom's family with alz starting with my ...

Is it possible to intentionally tear my rotator cuff? ## Hi spam, From what I understand, rotator cuff tears can occur in a number of different ways. However if you're going to intentionally inflict this upon yourself then what's the point?; as it's probably going to be a very painful experience. A couple "unintentional" scenarios may be due to falling on your arm while it's fully extended and stretched out, or even from a sudden jerking motion as a result of trying to lift something heavy. It could also happen slowly over time, but I suppose you would need to have it examined first in order to better determine the root cause. Why would you want to harm yourself anyways? It just doesn't make sense. If you need an adrenaline rush, there's safer ways to get...
