    I had twitches on pregablin and i didnt take them for very long or at a high dosage but my twicthing continued long after disconinuing them, it has gone now though. Sometimes these drugs cause us more unpleasant effects unfortunately. Lots of people do have side effects which dissipate once the body is used to them but id still check with your dr that all is well.
