What Causes Tremors In Hands And Twitching In Eyebrows?

My daughter currently under going epileptical medicine sodium valporite 125mg as she was discontinued the 250mg as the 2 year period she had not had any epilepcy. Past 5 months only in the morning after waking up her left hand shows shivering and both eyebrows used to shaking. she was having myoclonic jerk issue since 1 year to 5 year and clonozepam and sodium valporite was having that time. 6 to 11 yr she was ok and 11 yr she had epilepital attack and start consuming 250mg sodium valporite again. There was no attack after the first doze and 2 years continuous medicine was taken, the doctor reduced the strength to 125mg and this may discontinue by November. But the shivering is havinge very day, I want to know is it myocloning jerk again? If , then what should we do ?

please do not keep doubts on what she is having.just keep the dose 250mg for 5 days and see if the shivering decreses.if it decreases its myoclonus.Thne you have to continue the same dose for at least a year.later on some additives are necessary.
