First and foremost, I strongly urge you to immediately stop any medication that you are currently taking like clonazepam, ropinerol, pramipexole, diazepam, GABA-inhibitors, amantadine, lamotrigine on the assumption that the problem that you have is myoclonus. All these are drugs which should be prescribed by a qualified doctor only.
As you have correctly mentioned, myoclonus is a term referring to muscular jerks and not a disease in itself. If the sensations that you have are movements of a small group of muscles without the actual movement of any part of the body, then it is nothing to worry about. You may take vitamin supplements and calcium. That will resolve the issue. If there is movement ofa part of the body as well, then certain kinds of seizure disorders will need to be ruled out.
As you seem to be dissatisfied with your current neurologist, you may please consult another specialist
