Hello, Daniel! How are you?

Yes, that can be a normal side effect of this medication, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches.

Side effects are usually transient though, and should improve with time, once your body gets used to the medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?
