Question: For the past two months I have been having muscle spasms. Originally it was just in my eyelids. I would rapidly blink three or four time. Within a week, I also developed them in several spots in my face and neck. I went to my primary care physician, who thought might have blepharospasm and referred me to a neurologist. When I went to the neurologist, I had a very bad episode where multiple spasms showed at once. When I tried to lift my head, my head started shaking from left to right. My neurologist said that it was a tic and gave me a prescription for clonazepam. I've been taking it for about a week but it doesn't seem to be helping. Today I started to develop similar problems with my hands. I don't really think that what I have is a tic and I'm considering getting a second opinion. Is there anything else that could be causing this? My neurologist didn't do any tests and made his diagnosis based on my description and what he saw. Should I have had tests done before being prescribed meds?
