I saw on the thread started by UCLA that someone asked about drugs that help with twitching. I take neurontin and it helps a lot. I know there has also been a thread that says there is a link between taking neurontin and ALS (in other words it can cause ALS) but I had all these symptoms before I started neurontin. I used to twitch 24/7 and feel every single one. The worst being the ones in my elbows or shoulders or face that would persist for more than a day. Now I know they are there but they are "quieter" if you like and sometimes I barely notice them. At night they are back however. I still get through a day without focussing on every single one which makes a huge difference for me. I know i am just masking the problem because if I miss a dose of Neurontin, my twitches ramp up.
Some people have also found that taking ativan or other muscle relaxants can help. Never did anything for me.
