>Has anyone ever had those involuntary jerks right after falling asleep?
Yes. It is called myoclonus, or a myoclonic jerk. And btw, everyone has these from time to time, but I had them bad, along with totally random muscle jerking of muscles I could never ever volitionally flex, from serotoninergic meds (Paxil and Effexor). But with the serzone added, it is under control.
When I do have them, which is extremely rare now, it is accompanied by the feeling of falling, and brief panic.
