Medications
Certain medications and drugs can result in involuntary muscle spasms or twitches. These are often a side effect of the medications or a result of interactions between different drugs. Those people who often take medications for controlling blood pressure are likely to have a higher risk. This is because they can affect the balance of electrolytes in the body, an important part of muscle functions. Some antidepressants can have a stimulating effect, which would cause muscle fibers to contract involuntarily. If you feel muscle twitches or spasms when taking certain medications, make sure to consult your healthcare provider to get better options. Do not quit or change the drugs without your doctor’s consultation. [9]
