Main cause seems to be stress...I've had several episodes of twitching in the past 18 months, always when there is something stressful going on. The average duration has been around two weeks, and then suddenly it's gone. I've read up a bit on it, and this seems to be the usual pattern, so try to relax, and count to 14...I've found that cutting down on caffeine and increasing my intake of red wine help. Actually, increasing my intake of red wine seems to help most things...

Agree with poopoopoo. Had this a lot while working in stressful job.
Got rid of stressful situations, and relaxed, never had eye problem again. Its a sign of stress.

Poopoopoo.I like your way of thinking! I guess I best count to 14 first before I start on this red wine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I totally agree with you! Red wine, white wine, any wine seems to make the medicine go down better! Have a happy life!!!!!!!!!!

in order to have be pathologic, the difference in pupil sizes must be greater than 2-3 mm.

In addition, the twitching is usually triggered by "stress" from either foods, smell or physical activities.

Acupuncture Cure For Non-stop Eyelid-twitching - My Experience
Posted: 02-12-08 04:48am

Acupuncture Cure For Non-stop Eyelid-twitching



A few years ago I suffered from non-stop eyelid-twitching symptom as a result of the muscle-spasms side effects of certain anti-psychotic medication (Risperdal) which was prescribed in the first place for the treatment of my depression sickness.


I have actually sought numerous repeated treatment from lots of different medical specialists to get my non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness treated but they all turned out to be futile.


In the end, I actually get the non-stop eyelid-twitching sickness fully cured through acupuncture treatment. Accordingly, I have accounted for my healing exprience from this chronic eyelid-twitching sickness in http://ehealthfo rum.com/health/topic127403.html of this website and I hope that the information given will serve as useful reference materials to the intended readers.

may may be caused by irritated eyes, so try to keep that area clean or maybe lack of esential nutrients for healthy eyes.

It may very well be just one of the symptoms of the neuroleptic medication-induced sickness of Tardive Dyskinesia too.
