Title: Brain shivering (well... kind of)
Post by Nimbus on Jan 14^th, 2004, 12:18pm

Right now I'm PF but since two days I can't stand myself. I feel agressive, impatient, no concentration whatsoever. My head scratch a lot on one side like my scalp is burning.
Habitually, this mean that I'm cycle ready.
I've seen many of the above documented. However, there is something that I've never seen in any post.
When I'm near sleeping, I often have like an electrical blast through the brain. Best describe it as brain shivering. My theets seems to be ready to go out of their socket for a fraction of a second (but no pain) and there's this buzzing sound that flash in my ears. Like I'm electrocuted or something... This often seems to be triggered by a light sound when everything is calm, but I really don't know.
It is also happening during my woke hours but it is rare. As anyone ever feeled the same?? and if so (or not) why do you think can do this?? I will see my neuro soon and try to explain it but I fear that this may seems crazy to him.

sometimes something like that happens....since being on meds...It's like the beast is knocking on the door but the meds won't let him in...and it comes in waves just like the beast......so I think to myself "whew! he just missed me this time"...not sure what it is but thats the way i view it....Hey I can dream can't I that I won for a change!

OMG!!! I have the same thing, but its usually when I'm detoxing after being on meds for 3 months straight and all of the sudden don't need them...Right now I'm getting off of effexor, and I keep getting what I can only describe as shocks starting from my head and going throughout my body like being electracuted! Its a freaky ass feeling huh?

"Brains zaps" are a known side effect of taking or withdrawing from effexor and the ssri drugs. Could happen without taking anything. There are hundreds of references to it on the net - don't be afraid to mention it to your doctor, because you are not crazy.

I get brain storms in the summer before my episodes - messed up serotonin.

I got that same feeling your describing (Oh I hated it sooooooo much!) when I was coming off Effexor and Risperidal. I detoxed myself in 2 weeks and my doc wanted me to do it over a years time! It wouldn't be a bad idea to mention it to your doc tho.
