A member asked:
Is there a method of preventive care for myoclonus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Several medicines seem to prevent myoclonus in both epilepsy and other conditions. The best accepted include Depakote and keppra (levetiracetam). Some medicines make it worse. Nocturnal myoclonus might respond to Requip or mirapex.
