You are most likely experiencing myoclonic or hypnic jerks just before falling asleep. This is not a seizure disorder. These occur when you're half awake& half asleep, are harmless and are not a health issue unless they occur during the daytime They have been caused by some medications including ssri's of which class of meds prozac is. Your pharmacist can provide more information.?see neurologist

Not fully clear to me, what you mean by "seizures", and wonder if these represent myoclonic jerks associated with falling asleep. The increased frequency might evolve into "Paroxysmal Limb Movements in Sleep", which could be disruptive. Have your doctor discuss, with you, the wisdom of doing an overnight sleep study.
