Has anyone been dx with Myoclonus? If so, what was the treatment?
I have been diagnosed with myoclonus due to a rare side effect from an anxiety drug (hydroxozine). It has been a miserable 2 years. I can barely function from day to day and cannot work. I have taken Keppra and also have tried Briviact. I get some help but the side effects are terrible for me, making it a no-win situation. Can anyone relate or have advice? I am seeking help for a male in his mid 30s. Thanks

You said in your last sentence that you were asking for a man in his mid 30s. I'm wondering what specialists he has seen for this problem.
