I used to get these a lot, would drive me crazy. You probably already know that caffeine makes it worse, drink more water. I researched it and discovered that tonic water helps. it contains quinine which is a natural muscle relaxant. anytime the eyelid starts to twitch I buy a 1 liter bottle and finish the whole thing throughout the course of a day or so. Not all at once. For me it has stopped the twitches for about a week or 2 and whenever they come back I do it again although it hasnt happened since the last time I drank some.

I always get it in my right bottom lid when I’m stressed!

It happened on and off for the 3ish weeks leading up to/during my final exams in uni. day after my last one it stopped.

I know you’ve probably heard this a lot and I know how utterly annoying it is (believe me, I have an anxiety disorder myself) but try, if you can, to figure out what’s causing you stress. Even if you think its something boring you shouldn’t logically be stressed about, because anxiety makes you stressed about things that “rationally” other people arent.

hope that helps!
