Reason to be conerned?
Hi doc,
As of recently my thumb and my index finger on my left hand has been twitching alot. It will do it a couple times a day alothough it can be as much as 5 or 6 times in an hour and it goes into little " twitching fits" where it will twitch for about 30seconds to a mintue!This has never happened before and i am not experiencing any pain or loss of feelings in these fingers,but is there any reason to be concerned about this?
I am currently on ciplam trim 15mg could this be the cause?
thanks doc!

Hallo Anon
Ciplatrim contains sibutramine which can cause seizures (like epilepsy) in some people as well as cramping - stop it for a while and see if the symptoms disappear?
