Its actually one of the several drugs listed in Emedicine for mycoclonus. The peripheral transmitters of clonazepam are basically subclinical and by that point an individual would be on cyproheptadine (Periactin) anyway for a severe serotonin syndrome. Lorazepam can be used too, more for agitation.But his situation, which I assume has more than resolved by now is subclinical. And please get help from your doctor, these incidents, if I do say so myself, a cry for additional help. I don't know where you would have been prescribed Ultram but that is clearly obviously an error, if not gathered otherwise, and I'm not going to be accusatory, so I won't go there.
