Brain/body zaps & weird eye feelings
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi guys, me again!
I was just wondering, I've been experiencing these weird brain/ body zaps, they feel like the ones you get when you're going through withdrawal from medication however I have not stopped taking my medication. I feel like I get a quick random jolt through my head and body. I have also been feeling really weird in my eyes, they do not hurt or anything like that, they just feel odd and almost like they're being affected by the brain/ body zaps. The only thing I can think of that could possibly be causing this is that I have recently started taking 5mg of Valium when I need it as I have bad health anxiety and panic disorder or that perhaps I'm looking into it too much. Anyone else experience this before? I wish I could explain the symptoms better for you. Any replies would be appreciated.

Yes, I've had weird symptoms from anxiety it just does what it wants to do. I have noticed once you concur one symptom and think you have a handle of it it'll manifest into something completely different that throws you completely off guard. This sounds like what you may be going through. One thing I suggest is just remind yourself it's just anxiety distract yourself with something different and if you know this the symptoms aren't as noticeable then you have your answer. Nonetheless, I would still check with the doctor just to put your mind at ease. I'll be praying for you God bless!

Yes!! I completely agree, I get over one anxiety symptom and boom, another one pops up and sends me into a panic. I will definitely keep telling myself that it is all just anxiety and try to keep myself distracted. I need to make a doctors appointment anyway, so I'll mention this to them as well just to get some reassurance. Thank you so much for your reply!

ativan is a benzo. its like valium. antianxiety..its one of the stronger ones. it helps within 15 minutes of taking it.

Oh true!! I am on 5mg of valium, and it helps a bit but I think I might need to look at some other options. If you don't mind me asking, what dosage are you on?
