sun_zoom_spark Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 First of all I take 900 mg. lithium, 50 mg. Seroquel and 0.5 mg. Klonopin daily- Every day I have a sudden twinge that builds up in my body and becomes very intense. It usually makes me close my eyes and shake my head then it goes away for awhile. I may get three or more of these a day. It has been going on for quite some time now. It is not painful but it is very intense. It is hard to explain but I would compare it too a mild electrical shock running through my body. My body tenses up for a second and then the 'twinge' occurs for just a second or two. I'm at a complete loss as to what this may be and was wondering if any of you may have some idea as to what is going on with me. I told my pdoc about it and he has no answer. Says he's never heard of anything like this. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gretl Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 SZS, did you ever get a neurologist referral? Seem to recall you had some other seizure-type weirdnesses going on... Ah, here it is: Get. Thee. To. A. Neurologist. - Kassiane Edited: oops, I see that directive was for Roxy, not you. And if I recall, she did. Sorry!

sun_zoom_spark Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Gretl- The neurologists in this town are all quacks. I wouldn't waste my time with them. My wife does have a neurologist that treats her in a large city near here. I may go see him if necessary. Anyways I'm still looking for someone who has the goods. Stasis, you're damn funny. I like you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife does have a neurologist that treats her in a large city near here. I may go see him if necessary. I hear ya. Same sitch here. I went to one to check some things out last year, and he was useless. Nice. But generally useless. We drive an hour and a half for my daughter's neuro. Luckily he'll make med tweaks over the phone, just sees her twice a year. It seems like if you're having a full-body "something" three times a day that makes you wince and close your eyes, it bears further investigation.

sun_zoom_spark Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 I try to keep my sense of humor I lost it awhile back started giving my toys away.. Depression makes you do really dumb things... like trying to sell $10,000 dollars worth of music gear you've been scratching to build for years. I hear ya..

sun_zoom_spark Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 You mentioned the same effect as my own- trying to find commonality somewhere with someone to find an answer- I do take benzo but at a lower dose than yourself I take AP to cover this territory off to the races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
