I had eye twitching when I took Keppra, but now I'm on just Lamictal and I don't have it. My upper lip would twitch too, but it wasn't a frequent as all the people in the previous comments have had. I also would have it when I was late taking my meds or near my menstral. I want to think it's a side affect, but I'm not sure. I had bad terets when I was on tegretol and got off of it for that reason and wonder if that is what it was.

I was on this site trying to learn more about the modified Atkins diet when I saw this. I couldn't believe others were talking about this.
My eyelids do this when I've come into contact with any gluten. I've been on a gfcf diet for 2 and 1/2 years now and this is one symptom that will stay with me for weeks after being exposed to gluten.
I was diagnosed with CFS/ME/FM back in 1990 because I had ataxia, myoclonus, severe fatigue and constant upper respiratory infections, but it appears that most if not all of my problems were really from gluten ....
My ataxia and myoclonus both went away approximately one year after going on this diet.
If you google gluten, you'll find tons of info on how gluten affects our bodies and how to execute the gf diet.
Hope this helps someone. Marcia
