Thanks. I'm typically so ambivalent about the prospect of being on a given med, that I'll take any inconvenient side-effect as an excuse to jump ship. But I've tried so much stuff - and my OCD has reached such distressing heights - that this is the one instance where I *do* desperately want to remain on the drug at all costs.
I'm seeing my psychiatrist at the end of next week, so certainly will remain on it until then. The last time this leg-jerking problem appeared, my p-doc at the time wanted to prescribe clonazepam as a remedy, but I just hate the idea of medicating side-effects, particularly with benzos.
