Anxiety being a Jerk!

[Gingy_75]

Quick question... started new meds a week ago & now I seem to be getting involuntary jerks in random parts of my body... also feeling an internal tremor are these normal side effects? I’ve taken this particular AD in the past and never had any side effects 😔

Hello Gingy#75...

I was getting jerks from my meds..they called it Hypnagogic jerks...The were horrible...I spoke to my Psychiatrist about them..and he adjusted my meds....I was told not dangerous but uncomfortable....I was getting them strong enough to wake me at night...Maybe an appointment to you Dr or Psychiatrist and let them know what’s happening...would the best thing to do....

Good luck and I hope I was of some help..

Thanks for the reply Grandy... with these jerks were they all through the night or just upon going to sleep & waking up? Did you get them occasionally during the day also?

Hello Gingy...

They were before sleeping a lot...and through sleep as well...it was when ever I was laying down..day or night...I still get occasional one every now and then...but nothing compared to the nightly ones I was getting...my concern was i started getting them in my back..and they were so strong that my back jerked off the mattress and started being sore in the mornings....
