Ok. So I am waking up with what feels like restless leg but it's not in my leg it's in my neck and shoulders. It feels kinda like a withdrawl but that can't be what it is. It's so frustrating because I can't go back to sleep. When I get up and sit up it goes away. Does anyone know what this is or what could be causing it??

My body does the same thing. I've also just started to get the shakes in my hands.

I too get twitches and jolts and also feel restless in certain areas of my body. It can become very frustrating and i struggle to get to sleep at night time and in the mornings i struggle to stay asleep. The last time i had this problem i didnt get to sleep until 2 in the morning and that was after taking a liquid form medication thats meant to calm the body and stop irritability and i seemed to get to sleep relatively quickly after that.
