What Causes Vibrations In Leg And Muscle Twitches In Body?

Most likely these symptoms are occurring due to non-neurological cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello Welcome to HEALTH CARE MAGIC
I can understand your problem. The symptoms like vibrating sense in leg and muscle twitches in body can occur due to some electrolyte deficiencies. Detailed evaluation is needed to find out proper cause. You have been advised to take Magnesium so probably you have hypo-magnesimia. Low levels of Magnesium may cause tremors in extremities, twitching in muscles, cramps in muscles, confusion etc symptoms.
As your doctor has checked your circulation and reflexes so probably other neurological causes as well as vascular causes have been ruled out. You have no loss of balance or coordination so most likely the symptoms are due to non-neurological cause. Low magnesium is also known to precipitate anxiety symptoms. Other possibility for such symptoms is low levels of Vitamin B12, and I would advise you to get your B12 checked to rule out this condition. You are already taking multivitamins so probably they have B12 in sufficient quantity.
Also as your symptoms of vibration occur in episodes and ativan on SOS basis is helping to some extent so these symptoms can occur due to anxiety also. Continue to take Magnesium and wait for some days. As per my opinion your symptoms should improve.
Thankyou

Thanks for asking a follow up
In usual cases of symptomatic hypomagnesimia Magnesium Oxide is advises in 400-800 mg doses daily. This would be sufficient for your symptoms. In most individuals symptoms start reducing in about 4 weeks. As per my opinion 400-800 mg doses will be safe for you. Consult your doctor for prescription of any drug.
