I did hours of reading this past weekend and think it sounds like Myoclonus, I know that just means an involuntary quick muscle jerk but it fits my description. Also, a common medication prescribed for that is Clonazepam which I received and does help. I'm just really worried about the long term effects of benzos. I've read they can make you foggy and have memory problems. I need to be on the spot at my job and remember project particulars from dozens of manufacturers and different jobs. I usually take one .5mg pill per week.

I do not think mine is terribly stress related. Today for example, I am only at work half a day, it is nice and sunny out, nothing too stressful at work, etc. However, today is horrible with the involuntary lower jaw movements. I do not know why, I have not really done anything different the past few days. This is so debilitating! I have to figure something out!

I found a video of someone who has the same thing! Unfortunately, I cannot post links until I reach post count 10. In all the years that I have searched my movement disorder, I have never found a video of someone with the same thing! I plan on posting the link as soon as I reach post count 10.
Thanks |

Going to try Piracetam, read it is even prescribed for Myoclonus in the UK. It is a nootropic, must be safer than Clonazepam.

After a couple months of using it, Piracetam is definitely helping! I wish I knew about this earlier instead of wasting thousands and countless hours seeing "professionals". I take it 3 times a day on a fairly empty stomach. I still get the myoclonus jerks in my jaw but I would say it is 70% improved!

Hi,
Is this ** from the old tmj forum? Well done on finding something that helps! That’s great to hear. Are you based in UK? If so, how did you get hold of Piracetam and do you mind me asking how much you take? Cheers J Last edited by Chemar; 08-14-2020 at 10:31 AM. Reason: ** member privacy |
