trazodone and Myoclonic Jerk

trazodone has been researched along with Myoclonic Jerk in 7 studies

Trazodone: A serotonin uptake inhibitor that is used as an antidepressive agent. It has been shown to be effective in patients with major depressive disorders and other subsets of depressive disorders. It is generally more useful in depressive disorders associated with insomnia and anxiety. This drug does not aggravate psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p309)
trazodone : An N-arylpiperazine in which one nitrogen is substituted by a 3-chlorophenyl group, while the other is substituted by a 3-(3-oxo[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-2(3H)-yl)propyl group.

"Linezolid was discontinued after 5 days and the patient's symptoms resolved."1.48Linezolid-associated serotonin toxicity after escitalopram discontinuation: concomitant drug considerations. ( Ebied, A; Khoury, A; Penny, ES; Runnstrom, M, 2018)
"The pattern of myoclonus is unlike previous reported cases and may relate to activation of serotonin 5HT1A receptors (possibly supersensitive in Pick's disease) or to hypodopaminergia."1.29Reversible intermittent rhythmic myoclonus with fluoxetine in presumed Pick's disease. ( Lauterbach, EC, 1994)
