This time, I had unexpected jerking of my hands while I was holding a paper plate in one hand and eating a lemon bar off of it. Next thing I knew, there went the bar on a nice beige carpet in a public place. The lemon bar was good, too. I had no more symptoms that day, but the next day,I really started with the jerking, etc.

I've been through the same thing with Nardil. Horrible and horrifying experience.
