Suggest Remedies For Body Fidgeting In Constant Motion
Question: My body figits and is constantly in motion. My feet are moving or my hands are moving all the time. I recently have titrated down from 120mg of Cymbalta to 60mg to see if I could function at that level. I take Cymbalta for fibromyalgia pain and depression. I have taken this branded drug for over 9 years.
Can I do anything about the figiting?

Brief Answer:
Choreo-athetoid movements
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.
You could be having choreo-athetoid movements involving your limbs. It is hard to comment whether it is an effect of the drug or whether it is due to some other cause, without a thorough neurological examination. I would insist you to visit your psychiatrist or your treating physician so that further management can be done suitably.
