What Could Be The Reason For The Jerking Movements Of Hands And Feet Since I Had Shingles And Restless Syndrome Has Stopped After Taking Lyrica?
I have Restless Leg syndrome that has gotten worse sense I had Shingles 7 months ago. I was on Lyrica for 2 months and discontinued it in October. After that time I started having general involuntary Jerking of my hands and feet. This horrible crawling sensation of my neck face and scalp where I had my shingles. I went back to the doctor and was put back on Lyrica 50 mg tid. The restlessness has stopped but I'm still having the Jerking sensation of my hands feet and my upper arms when at rest. I have even been awakened in the middle of the night with the jerking movements. What is going on?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This could be functional disorders if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the following drug which belongs to the benzodiazepine group.
1) Tab. Diazepam 10 mg at bed time
I hope this will give good result, take care and have good time.
