Note: The first version of this article was adapted from the public domain NINDS Myoclonus Information Page

If myoclonic seizure is merged into this page, please be clear that only a subset of all myoclonus originates owing to rhythmic cerebral cortical discharges (i.e., epilepsy.) Myoclonus can also originate in the cerebellum, brainstem, spinal cord, nerve, and muscle; and probably from the diencephalon as well. - Ikkyu2 09:20, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, merge

Clearly, the article on myoclonic seizure is less substantial than this one, yet has a few pieces of useful information that should be included here. Halcatalyst 22:43, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

alternative treatment.

hello. i am wondering if agents that inhibit calcium channel activity (Ca++ influx). For example NMDA receptor antagonist, that prevents it:

Memantine (Akatinol/Axura) Magnesium (supplement as a ca++ antagonist) Acamprosate (Campral) Amantadine (Symmetrel/Amantix)

Magnesium is an NMDA antagonist. Most people are suposed to be deficient in magnesium, and stress is suposed to reduces magnesium levels...

Efficient magnesium form: magnesium glycinate (chelated) bioavailability around 80% magnesium carbonate bioavailability at little above 30%-40% (cant remember well)

500 mg/day should be fine. or prehaps increasing food riche magnesium comsuption.

Could someone add the etymology?
