Sassy,
Months after my RFL surgery while I was being weaned off Lyrica and Lexapro I'd get twitching in my legs at night while trying to fall asleep. Thought maybe I had restless leg syndrome or ??? I didn't contact the doctor, thought I'd give it a few weeks until I was off my meds. I think it was the medication withdrawl because I don't feel it anymore. Never had any dizziness but was always careful not to over do it. If you experience it throughout the day/night and are actually jerking, I'd call my neuro just to check it out; can't hurt any, that's what they're there for.
Best Regards, Wendy

Hi SassyM.
I have not had surgery yet, but will be having Left Temporal Lobe surgery on November 4th. If you want me to, I can let you know how I feel afterwards. I hope everything went well!
