I had something totally different, yet called the same.

In the beginning of my dxing, limboland, journey, I had many EEG's in the hospital. They said I had myoclonic seizures and myoclonic jerks, with an odd tremor in many locations. Eye, tongue, hands, etc.

On Klonopin from the beginning for these, after trying many other meds. This worked for me. I still take it 3 times a day for 30 years now. I only get a myoclonic jerk when in relapse now, no myoclonic seizures since near the end of Limboland in 1980.

Klonopin has anti-seizure and anti-tremor properties too. I hope some of this info helps.

I will look for the site I found on this and add it later.

Gee, I just found out hiccups are myoclonic jerks, hmm
