Thank you for your reply Mike.
I was taking clonazepam which didn't help I felt spaced out and still jerked. My GP then prescribed Sodium Valporate which made my jerks much more violent. I really hate taking any medication so I weaned myself off them to see how my body would react without any medication. I jerked even more! I returned to my GP and have just started to take Gabapentin Actavis 300 mg three times a day. Let's hope this is the magic wand I need to get a nights sleep.

Best wishes to you.
