I know it's the weekend now but you could give the out of hours doctor a call? They'll know what's what so could put your mind at ease if it's really bothering you :)

Interesting read because I had the sleep/jerking issues when on citalopram (which I have just come off). It happened mostly out of bed for some reason, like dozing on the sofa, sometimes my entire arm would jerk out, and a few times my whole body would jolt, in fact it became quite comical and that was the best way to deal with it, look at the funny side if you can. I also remember this happened many decades ago when on Clomipramine (not sure if I have spelled that right) too, so it's definitely a side effect of antidepressants for me.
