I was experiencing strange muscle spasms, quick jerks while awake, extremely vivid dreams, and breakthrough myoclonus. My family doctor, at first wanted to rule out MS. My MRI of the brain and spine came back normal. Finally, I found Dr Heather Ashton's information, and realized the symptoms were tolerance symptoms. My neurologist's nurse practitioner agreed, and said I should slowly taper off. We are hoping my myoclonus may be tolerable without medication.

Hi, @lizaa - I also wanted to encourage you to consider posting in the Brain & Nervous System group on Mayo Clinic Connect, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/brain-and-nerve-diseases/, about your myoclonus.
