Hi DebC,

Welcome to the forum! I had myoclonic jerks and they always seem to happen early in the morning or late afternoon. My Dr. did a sleep study on me and found I was having seizures in my sleep which I didn't realize was happening, then I was put on Vimpat and that stopped all of the myoclonic jerks. According to my neuro it was all do to lack of sleep. I also started CBD oil (medical marijuana) and that has really helped me. I get it in a little spray bottle and squirt 1 squirt in my mouth once a day and take my word it has greatly reduced all of my seizures. You may want to give it a try. Ask your Dr. about sleep study because this may be leading the myoclonic jerks. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!
