Are Sleeplessness And Muscle Twitching Due To Xanax?
my husband has been on xanax for a long time and is now having muscle twitching, uncontrolled movements, and sleeplessness. he takes it at night. I see that can cause those affects. he is also on coumadin. lopressor, lasix, and pramipexole and ropinirole

Pramipexole and ropinirole are given for parkinson's disease and this is uniformly associated with twitching and uncontrolled movements.
Xanax dependence and withdrawal causes increased stimulation and consequent sleep issues. But having restlessness due to parkinson's often causes sleep disturbance also.
