My brother had myoclonus jerks due to hypoxia too. They went away after we gave him Qutipine 12.5 mg/25 mg. You could try that but only proceed after consulting.

If you notice that your Daughter seizures are changing you should call her Doctor they should do a EEG and bloold work to make sure there are know changes. Also may need to change medicines.

God bless.

I forgot seizures can make you forget things you already know how to do. So learning can be very hard and have to go over a lot and repeat things over and over again. Because what they know one day the next day they may not know.

god bless prayers are with you and your daughter.

First has your child had an EEG and A MRI or a Catscan.  Seizures can cause the jerks. Also drugs for ADD and ADHD and Bipolar .

My son grinds his teeth some time to . But his has nothing to do with Seizures and the doctors said don't worry about it because if you do he will do it even more.

Do you give your child a multivitamin?  

Also blood work up should be done to test for everything and anything that could be wrong.
