Prozac and Involuntary Muscle Twitching?

I am taking prozac since 2 month and now seemed to develop a form of restless leg syndrome and muscle twitching. The restless legs are the worst in the morning, but my husband told my I also move my legs a lot in my sleep. I also developed some muscle twitching in my legs, arms and stomach. Are those common side effects of prozac? Should I try taking some vitamin or iron supplements? Are iron supplements save to take with prozac? I tried making an appointment with my doctor, but can't get a soon appointment.

    Heres a link that gives common side effects of prozac,

    including the ones that you are suffering. You might like to try St Johns Wort which is a herbal substitute for prozac.

    There are quite a lot of possible side effects.
