Head jerks

Alright so I've had epilepsy since the age of 7 ( official diagnoses but I had seizures before that) I only had Petit mal/ absence seizures and I took lamictal, zorontin and focalin and my seizures were gone at the age of 11/12 a year or so later I started developing these head twitches it feels as if my neck tenses up and it causes me to turn my head, shake my head, shrug my shoulders or grimace Sometimes all at the same time especially if I'm stressed out ( I'm currently 18 and decided to finally speak about it) Does this sound like a seizure? I have an appointment with a neurologist soon but I just want some opinions
