I woke up yesterday and my eyelid was twitching. It has been happening on and off since then.
It has happened to me before but only for a couple of minutes.

Is there anyway I can get rid of this? or do I just have to wait until it goes away?

my eye lid started twitching a few weeks before I developed a nasty tooth abscess that needed a root canal. good luck!

Happened to me after i got hit in the eye with a baseball. For me it lasted 2 weeks and was really annoying. Hopefully it's shorter for you

^The best solution imo,

The most common things that make the muscle in your eyelid twitch are fatigue, stress, and caffeine. Once spasms begin, they may continue off and on for a few days. Then, they disappear. Most people experience this type of eyelid twitch on occasion and find it very annoying. In most cases, you won't even notice when the twitch has stopped.
Eyelid twitching usually disappears without treatment. In the meantime, the following steps may help:

* Get more sleep.
* Drink less caffeine.
* Lubricate your eyes with eye drops.

If twitching is severe, small injections of Botulinum toxin (Botox) can temporarily cure the spasms.
Call your primary care doctor or eye doctor (ophthalmologist) if:

* Eyelid twitching does not go away within 1week
* Twitching completely closes your eyelid
* Twitching involves other parts of your face
* You have redness, swelling, or a discharge from your eye
* Your upper eyelid is drooping

Get more sleep. My eye only does that when I'm wiped out.

It will eventually stop. Muscle twitches are caused by chemicals or hormones in the wrong part of the body at the wrong time. It will stop sometime though.
