> Several meds have given me bad myoclonus. Seems I get it when the serotonin levels are too high for me. Now, one of the things Serzone does for me is counteract the myoclonus from the high dose Effexor XR, so I can fall asleep with out the twitchies.
I'm fortunate in that, now at least, I don't notice the movements when I'm trying to fall asleep. The main thing I've noticed it that my foot will jerk of its own accord when I'm sitting at my desk, watching TV etc, and it's really annoying; it seemed to be more pronounced when I was on the Wellbutrin, which is why eventually I determined that that was probably the cause. I wonder if Serzone would help me... I remember once during my last round with Wellbutrin, my whole body jerked when I was in bed--I don't think it really counted as a seizure, as it wasn't prolonged or anything, but it did kind of freak me out.
