Hypnic jerks
Hi, I get hypnic jerks at night. I took Lorazepam one night and didn't taper it off in April 2013. I then took it on and off over two months. On average a small amount three times a week. Moved onto Remeron (mitrazapine) in September 2013. I am on melatonin (2mg). I had no sleep problems before I took the Lorazepam.
*admin edit*
I was doing ok on a small amount of melatonin with magnesium (Calm 1g), but recently I came off of the magnesium (I think I was taking too much and it affected my blood pressure) and now the hypnic jerks have come back and now having to take 2mg of melatonin. However, I am waking up and now cant get back to sleep from the jerks.
I would be very interested if anyone knew of any alternative ways to treat these hypnic jerks (vitamin D?). I would take a bath with epsom salts (but I don't have one).
Thanks a lot,
Brian.
