Default My 9yr. old newly diagnosed with myoclonus HELP!

My son has been having involuntary "jerking" movements in his abdominal area for going on 3 mths. The pediatric neurologist has done a few MRI's and an overnight EEG to rule out tumors and seizures and everything came back normal. However the jerking in his abdomin continues and is not painful but definitely is aggrevating and interferes with life. It's hard to concentrate on homework and he's worried that the other kids at school will notice. The Dr started him on Clonidine 0.1mg at night which I don't really see any improvement yet and we are on week 2. I am also nervous about the BP effects of clonidine, he also was diagnosed with Inattentive ADHD and we tried Focolin XR for 2 days and noticed and increase in frequency and severity of abdominal jerking and stopped it! We've decided to not worry about the inattentiveness right now we are more focused on the myoclonus! Is there anyone out there with similar symptoms of a child that could give any insight and advice?? Worried Mom5261
