Twitching In Temples, Moving To Jaw, Cold, Back Pain. Taking Paxil For Anxiety. Causes?

A few days ago I started getting this severe twitch in my left temple all the way down to my jaw. It comes and goes all day. It s really freaking me out. I ve been taking 20 mg of Paxil for 2 weeks for mild anxiety and am just getting over a severe cold , and I take vicoden as needed for a back pain .... Could any of this be the colpret to this frustrating twitch that is causing me great stress?

Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum

Such symptoms can occur most probably due to sudden stoppage of paxil or excessive stress or increase anxiety due to cold. If you have stopped your paxil then restart it and do not stop it in future without your physician advice.

If stress is prolonged or severe then, for treatment, you can visit specialist like psychiatrist or psychologist.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Wish you Good Health.
