Side effects

Has anyone been prescribed something to stop restless less and involuntary twitching in their muscles.

The medication I am taking work well for my MH but having constant restless legs when trying to sleep or sit still and legs/hands randomly twitching means I'm not able to relax and my sleep is affected.

Is this quite common? Any suggestions?

Magnesium is good for twitching muscles. Not sure if it works if they are caused by meds though but maybe worth a try?

Twitching can also be caused by low b12 and/or low Vitamin D but I’m assuming if they only started once you were taking meds that it is side effects rather than a deficiency.
