Twitching and jerking in the hips and legs
I'm a 38 year old, healthy, athletic female on a whole foods diet. Been experiencing chronic upper/lower leg twitching, jerking while awake and asleep. Sometimes the sensations are crawling and tingling, hot and cold.

Hi and welcome,
I would suggest you discuss these new symptoms with your prescribing doctor, it is very likely that this is a medication side effect but its also possible that its directly related to your prolonged sleep deprivation and or your anxiety issue and your doctor should be able to help you work things out.

Also, I've been prescribed Ambien for chronic insomnia and Paxil for anxiety. Been on both for about 6 months now. Not sure of this plays a role in my new symptoms or if it's Neurological, or something else altogether?
