Quit drinking 2 days ago. Advice?

I was drinking 2 bottle of wine every day since New Years, and 2 bottle of wine every other day during September-December. I contacted my doctor just in case. He prescribed me medazepam (similar to diazepam/valium). Yesterday I took 10 mg medazepam every 2 hours, starting from 19:00 PM-to 1:00 AM. so all in all 40 mg. (I was a night drinker only.) It was working really well until I wanted to sleep… I couldnt sleep because I always got myoclonus (random muscle movement) when I almost drifted to sleep. I couldnt sleep because my fingers, legs, and shoulders jerked. Eventually I slept a few hours, but I am afraid of these random muscle jerks.. Have any of you experienced the same? It seems scary because I am tapering with benzos and still getting these weird muscle jerks.
