Regarding hypnic jerks
Dear sir/ma'am,
I was using Rexipra Forte 20 (Escitalopram Oxalate 20mg + clonazapem 0.5 mg) from last 7 months. Recently, from last 5 days, I was experiencing hypnic jerks during sleep and also getting dreams during sleep.
Kindly suggest why this happens and is there anything to worry about?

Yes. You need a modification of the medication that you are taking. Taking Escitalopram during daytime usually helps. Consult online for a proper prescription.

Suggest you to plz speak to your doctor once.
And you may connect with a psychologist and go for a hypnotherapy session or a guided meditation to calm yourself.
