How much do you take? Is it for pain. I use Tramadol (about 6 50mg a day) for back pain hydros to get happy. So sad. I don't have body jerks like that. Have you tried adding potassium to your diet? That helps with leg pain. Bananas are a good source.
Good luck.

First I have a question, have you recently started taking more than you did before? If so you could be on your way to having a seizure. I would talk to your doctor as soon as possible. The post, you replied to earlier this month said that they have heard of people taking too much and having seizures from it. I'd be very careful and have your boyfriend go with you to the doctor. If you are sleeping he can describe it more.
You may to switch and taper down. I don't know if you want to quit but if you're on your way to a seizure, consider it.

I take 25 a day and I do not have any pain from the body jerks.The only way i can explain them is when your almost asleep and it feels like your going to fall off the bed and suddenly you jerk your leg.I have them all over and sometimes I completely lift off the bed.My boyfriend lies practically on top of me because he is afraid i may go flying across the room.
