Clonus: A neurologist is an excellent specialist to evaluate clonus. Taking Prozac with other drugs or marijuana can cause a serotonin effect to make the muscle have clonus.

A neurologist told me that I have ankle clonus, he said it is benign and should not be concerned. I take prozac and he said it can be the cause, I have no other symptoms and the clonus is even in both feet. is this possible? All my exams were great.
