I am getting muscle spasms all over my body since increasing my dosage of oxycontin. Maybe one every couple of minutes or so. I guess this is a normal side effect, although my doctor does not think that it is as big of deal as it is. I am taking Flexaril for it, and it is not effective.

What would stop the twitches best? Maybe Valium?

What your experienceing is myoclonic spasms or jerks.This is a common side effect of opiates and you don't have anything to worry about.......Dave

While it may be annoying, these types of effects, generally do tend to wear off as your body adjusts to the med.

My information is not guaranteed correct. I do not get them right all the time, but I do enjoy the hunt~
