Right upper eyelid twitching for about 3 weeks now
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hello,
First post on the site.
About 3 weeks ago I noticed my right eyelid would begin twitching somewhat randomly and last anywhere from 5-20 seconds. It seems to happen 20-30 times a day. At first I was hoping it would go away on its own, obviously it hasn't. I did some research pointing to possible causes including fatigue, stress, alcohol, and other more uncommon disorders. All the causes don't seem like a good fit. My sleep is fine 7-8hrs. a night, dont feel stressed etc. (with the exception this eye twitching issue is really starting to p**s me off). And my drinking habits have not changed (3-4 beers in the evening). The twitching seems to be increasing in severity and frequency and I have noticed that if I am tired it does happen a lot more - especially after I yawn. I don't have any trouble seeing or any other eye issues (no glasses etc.)
The only thing in my life that has changed in this time frame is that I have stopped using cannabis. I don't know if cannabis use has suppressed a condition I didn't know that I had? Or if it is related at all? It is the only major life change or anything that I can think of that is "different" about my life. I am just looking for any possible help prior to seeing a doctor or an optometrist. I am open to answer any questions etc. Thank you for reading and any possible help.

My eye started twitching after I got botox once. It calmed down when the botox wore off but it still twitches from time to time now for ages even though I haven't had botox since. Have you ever had botox?

This sounds as though it is a symptom of Cannabis withdrawal. It may become worse as the effects of Cannabis leave your body but gradually should lessen. May take 6-8 weeks. If it becomes intolerable then do see a doctor. Well done for giving up......next thing: cut back on the beer.
