jkrswld52 - Two tricks that have helped me are Trazodone - it's actually an anti-depressant but helped me through mild ticks for a bit, comes in generic and is not that expensive out of pocket. Also, an heb (I think?) available at most organic food stores is Vallerain (possible mispell). A note on Vallerian, it stinks to high heaven in tea form, but you can get it in oil form and only need one drop mixed in with h2o.
I am so sorry to hear that you lost your health insurance. Could you help me, I was actually hoping you could ellaborate on your nocturnal seizures - Over the past month I have developed extreme jerking movements originating from my trunk and abdominal/hip area at the moment I enter sleep. although now even when I am tired they happen in the form of small twitches.
