What Causes Muscle Spasms And Restlessness While On Crestor And Methadone?
I am inexplicably agitated: I am restless and feel the need to move, even though I am tired. If I try to sleep, my body wants to spasm. There has been no change in my routine, including the medications I normally take, with one exception: I normally take a 5mg Crestor tablet at noon, but at 10PM I took it with my usual nighttime meds: 15mg of methadone and 75 mg of trazodone. I haven t had any alcohol since one glass of wine at dinner yesterday. What can I do to get over this restlessness?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the side effects of Crestor.
Muscle spasms and muscle damage, in general, are common side effects of Crestor.
I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day.
I also recommend to take a magnesium supplement and drinking a lot of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
