What Causes Twitches In Eye ?

I am 64 years old. I've been on prozac 30 mg for about 15 years. For the past few years it has been brought to my attention I open and close my mouth (guppy style) when I am concentrating on sewing or sometimes listening to a conversation. I can stop it when it's brought to my attention. Recently now I have a eye lid that twitches. Am I suffering from some awful disease? Is it the prozac?
