Rick -

You menioned the TMJ.

This reminded me since I had gotten pulled off my life routine and got sidetracked awhile into the world of abnormal involuntary movements.

I learned that Klonopin is the one drug (well - possibly a 2nd "baclofen") - which is highly recommended for all hyperkinetic movement disorders. This includes some pretty common nocturnal events like myoclonus or "restless legs" and "TMJ" - and all hyperkinetic movement disorders there is about 10 I think.

Also Klonopin common in Parkinsons - for sleep - with dopamine agonists - for lots of sleep stuff.

And partial seizures are treated well by Klonopin with can involve all kinds of weird movmements - usually people with seizure disorders have a "facial blunting" or difficulty being facially expressive.

I read that Klonopin may have indirect help on both SP and Parkinson's because even though it helps prevent excessive involuntary movements - it also "disinihibits" tightening of facial area - relaxing and making more easy for those with SP and Parkinson's and other disorders which often show features of "lack of facial expression" appearing as "emotional blunting" etc etc...

Oh - on my website since I had this free time - I added some abstracts under "dopamine" on pregnenolone - a steroid they find is low in those with gneral SP and general anxiety both.
