Did you ever happen to get a diagnosis as to what is causing the myoclonus?

But this myoclonus is a real pain. and it is affecting my whole body, arms, legs, torso, neck and head; even my hands and fingers. For instance my fingers will hit buttons twice or my wrist will jerk and come down hard on the keyboard.

I take Tegretol, Neurontin, tiniest dose of xanax (for anxiety & panic disorder)

I was wondering if I increased the neurontin and xanax (through my GP of course not on my own decision), if it would have any effect?

Any help is appreciated,

Cheers,

Rhian
