Default A/C acting wired when charging

A few days ago I took my sol to check if I was losing refrigerant. When the mechanic put on his gauges where they hook up to the AC lines my car suddenly began to act weird. I think he was adding refrigerant when this began to happen. The rpm's began to dip in below the 500rpm mark and even when I drive I feel the car jerking a bit too much. The AC is blowing cold but as the rpm's drop on idle the compressor begins to tick as well.

Compressor is not leaking because the refrigerant has been there for 4 years.

Please edit^ to make understandable.

Car information is also too scant.

Rephrase that first sentence, I can't make out wtf you're saying. Does the jerking happen w/ the ac off?

Just fixed it. My mind is somewhere else right now! Wow what an epic fail I just did!

It only jerks with the AC on.

Why did you fail to mention this^ key information in the first post??

He added too much refrigerant. Bring your car back to the shop and tell him to recover the excess refrigerant.

I was thinking of emptying the system and refilling it when I go back to the shop. Can I still use my AC? because its hot as hell outside with the heat wave we are having this week.
