Can you please say which kind of treatment are you using for the myoclonic jerks and also the dosage of the drug?

Ive been having simple partial seizures, where Ive had jerking movements on my right side of my body with stiffening. Im aware during the seizures, and not unconsious. But the dr kept me on keppra xr, at 3000mgs daily.
Hey,
I take 200mg per day of Lamictal, the research I've done and the info from my neuro is that Lamictal both boosts the effects of Sodium Valproate, AND controls the jerks associated with JME. It is supposedly better for myoclonics than tonic clonics.
Wait you do have jerks while being on 3000mg of keppra xr?
I think i saw a post where you said you are able to drive.
