The past few days I have been getting this odd twitch near my forehead just above my hairline. I switched over my abx from doxy to zithromax about two weeks ago. It is much more prevalent today than yesterday or the day prior to that. I know this is not a serious symptom, but not sure what this is due to. I have been eating more carbs than I should be lately, maybe that could play some role.

What could be the cause of this? Have any of you experienced this?

Any twitching could be from a herx....and since you changed your me to zithromax two weeks ago - the timing is right.

I have had twitching - in many areas...but not above my hairline.


keep on detoxing...

Girlie -

Thank you! I will keep detoxing for sure

Also, it may be that you need more magnesium. Magnesium will help calm many muscle twitches and most of us are deficient in magnesium due to our food being deficient in magnesium.

Here is a great list explaining the different types of magnesium and how they help the body - I choose to use magnesium orotate and haven't been unhappy with the results:

Thank you Traveler! I have actually been including Magnesium in my daily supplements for the past month. 250 mg of "natural magnesium for bone and heart health", which contains Magnesium oxide and gluconate

That is a low dose of magnesium. I do 400 mg daily...and have done a lot more than that.

So, you could try increasing...

Girlie -

Would 500 mg be too much? or I could take 1.5 tablets instead of two. Each tablet is 250 mg

I agree with Girlie. I take two types of magnesium for different reasons. I use mag. oxide for help with my intestines, and mag. orotate for help with my muscle twitches. I take 500 mgs of orotate, and between 1,000 mg - 2,000 mgs daily of the oxide, depending on the level of 'help' I need with my intestines.

I would slowly raise the magnesium dose a bit and see if that doesn't help.

Okay thank you for all your help. I will slowly start to increase and I will have to buy mag orotate and incorporate that as well
