A member asked:

Is myoclonus will be non epileptic and how it can be controlled?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be: Several causes for myoclonus and is not always part of an epileptic syndrome, as may be due to spinal cord issue. Have had good success using Depakote or Keppra (levetiracetam) for myoclonus of all types
