I've had these myoclonic jerks before as a side effect of taking Effexor, especially when going off it too suddenly. What distinguished this one was it happened while I was sleeping and had visual/auditory manifestation. I have been having many experiences of hallucinated colors right when I wake up. Bright greens and blues and reds all coloring my rather monotone apt. I even observed a candle sconce I have hanging on the wall appearing to rise up continually but never actually moving at all. I actually look forward to what it will come up with next.
Migraines can cause floaters, too. Withdrawals from Effexor can cause nightmares and excessive dreams. Maybe you weren't fully awake. While it might be fun to see, I'd make sure to push the VA for further exams. I hope it's nothing bad.
Good day to you, MR!
