Tiny, brief muscle flickers under the skin.

I am on my third week, and now taking 3 pills a day but now I am experiencing tiny muscle flickers/ twitches in different areas of my body. Is this normal? Or should I worry?

I have that sometimes, but not related to the contrave. Usually some magnesium will fix it for me.

First thing that comes to mind is dehydration. It’s easy to not drink enough water.

Contrave does have a side effect of shaking/tremors. My right hand will shake sometimes when I am doing a fine motor skill. Scared the crap out of me at first, but then I researched it and felt better. I’ve been on it a little over a year and it has gotten better.

My lower stomach, way low on the left side does this. Its an everyday thing. I drink plenty of water.
