Oh okay, thank you for explaining. I didn't realize that overstimulation of serotonin can lead to this. This explains why last time I went on Prozac, my leg sometimes jerked--it did feel like the kind of jerks you get as you fall asleep. So that this now is a tic or myoclonic jerk too, as well, makes a lot of sense.
