Thanks for your query and faith.
Nerve / eye twitching all the time is definitely a big distress. May I know your city of residence, so that I can tell you whom to meet.
Tablets like Tryptomer / Tegritol / Gabapentin can help you, but for that you have to meet a Neurologist in you area.
Another possibility is injection of botox and needs to be done by a Doctor who is specialized into it. This is done by a Cosmetic Surgeon.
We need to check for calcium and vitamin D deficiency by a blood test. If there is eyelid twitching then eye infection may be the cause and seeing an ophthalmologist may help.
Please search in your area and give me a feedback so that I can guide you to have the best possible results.

Hi XXXX.
Yes, the most probable cause for the feeling of nerve twitching near the eye or otherwise elsewhere are the following:
Although the exact cause could not be found out by the medical research till now, the probable reasons can be attributed to ''stress and anxiety'' in general and that caused by the twitching itself.

Some diseases of the nervous system too can cause these but needs detailed examination and investigations by the Neurologist to find the exact cause.
Abuse of some medicines or drugs like those taken for pain, cough - which I hope you are not taking.
This is called a benign fasciculation sundrome.
The best treatment option is to reduce the stress and the anxiety .
You can start or continue exercises, hobbies, outings, taking part in social events and activities ( which one avoids due to fear of being noticed ).
You can always take an opinion of an Ophthalmologist to rule out eye problem; of the Neurologist to get all the relevant tests, clinical / physical examinations, investigations and treatment as you need a prescription too.
