    Yes. Twitching, tremor, burning sensation, jumping feeling, you name it. It disappears in 4-5 weeks.

    Since I have been on these meds my legs and feet literally jump on there own. Notice it more when I'm resting. Weird feeling. Think it tells you on the paperwork inside the packet that this can happen.

    Thanks guys. I've never had it before been on them a while. Upped to 20 a few weeks ago, so I hope it stops.

    Hi Amy,

    I have not found this.I read the side effects may well be signs of low blood level of sodium.(I dont think this is anything to worry about)
