EYE TWITCH?

Yep, I too had the eye twitch with ACT.  It was the worst after the 2nd Tx.  Had it some after the 3rd and none after the 4th.  It is very annoying!!

Hey Laura,   I don't knowif it is a s/e or not, but I also had the eye twitch, when I was on taxo. and herceptin, and then when on xeloda and herceptin, it lasted for about 8 months or so...Everyday it would act up at some time or other. Not all day but aleast three of four times a day..I asked the nurses about it, and all i was told was that I was probably dehydrated, and to drink more water.. I was also told it was from fatigue..NO KINDING !!! They said if it lasted much longer they would do a brain scan, to make sure it was nothing else, so of course I told them it was  gone...It finally went away, but I don't know why, I am on only hercp and lupron now, and haven't had it for a while. I did have all my scans and everything was okay, so don't worry about it being anything else..Weird thing was that it was always the same eye, never the other..Mine would twitch so hard that other people could actually see it, not just one of those fluttering things...And yes it was very annoying !!!!!!!!! Haven't had it for awile now, thank gosh, but  i remember it well..Good luck, and hope it goes away soon, just be  reassured  its nothing else..Hugs and wishing you  a quick recovery..KLynn

Now I would never have guessed that all of you had the eye twiiching thing going on, I always dismiss my s/e's    thinking it's just me......From now on, whenever I get a weird reaction going on I'm goning to post here, the doctors don't really have a clue as to which ones are from what drugs...    Hugs Klynn

I don't know which drug it was...I did 10 taxotere, Carboplatin and Herceptin.  Finished Herceptin alone in Feb 08.  My eyelids twitched  all the time.  Drove me crazy.   Onc wasn' t sure it was a side effect, but I was!   I went away...but now I can't remember when.

I was had 6 tx TAC and had eye twitches. The nurse at the cance center said it was due to the taxotere. It went away when tx was over.

I'm glad I found this thread, as the eye twitching is making me nuts and my onco and nurse seem mystified. They say its "stress" but reading this, I am sure its an SE from the Taxotere (I am on TCH every 3 weeks.) Just had my 5th tx and the twitching in both eyes is soooo frustrating, makes it hard to read or watch tv etc.  Happy to hear it will go away eventually!!

My eye twitch drives me nuts. TCHx4

I had the twitch too when I was on TAC for chemo.  Took a couple of weeks to go away after the chemo finished.  Made me crazy too -- didn't feel like doing anything but resting and reading or watching tv, but could only just sit and rest.  

hang in there. 

I just completed 6 treatments of taxotere- my right eye feels funny.  Has anyone had eye problems besides eye twitching?

Hi Jerrib813, Looks like this is an old topic, but maybe we will see some new action with your post. Have you let your oncologist know about the eye twitch?
