What causes jerking of neck in person with anxiety?
human
I have anxiety and depression and have recently started having neck jerking and feeling like crying for no reason, these are new symptoms for me and it s scary. I was taking citalopram for about 2 years and stopped taking it a couple of weeks ago thinking it was the cause but it s getting worse. What could be causing the jerking neck? Not a twitch but a violent jerk sometimes.

HelloThanks for asking from HCMYou have anxiety, crying spells and jerking in neck. You were on citalopram but stopped to use the drug. Citalopram is an anti-anxiety drug of SSRI group. The drug help in decrease in anxeity. Stoppage of its use has resulted in aggravation of anxiety symptoms and which is causing in rebound anxiety and depression. This is the cause of crying spells. The neck jerks are most likely due to tics provoked by anxiety. As per my opinion consult your psychiatrist again for help.Ask for restarting the medicine. Relaxation exercises and yoga will help in calming you and early relaxation.Thanks, hope this helps you
