Ativan for muscle twitching

Hi,

I have chronic muscle twitching that comes and goes throughout the day. Does Ativan work to help these symptoms? Or if not, what are the best options?

Cheers,

Hi!
Yes, Ativan can help reduce muscle twitches and is especially helpful in twitches associated with anxiety.
To treat the twitches, you have to find the cause first—it can be electrolyte imbalance, Lyme’s lupus, thyroid problems, nerve compression or a sleep disorder.
Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
