Electric shock feeling thru whole body

I hope someone can help me out. I have just gone thru a bad bout with insomnia. I have been on quite a few medications thru the last 4 years. The insomnia came about just as I was comming down with some type of bacterial infection. The doctor put me on cipro. I have been on it for about 5 days now. Yesterday was very bad, evey time I walk i get these "shocking" feelings thru my head and body. I am also suffering from bad back problems and have been on everything from fentenyl,percocet, and I am comming off of a few weeks of methadone. I have been off the metadone for about 3- 4 weeks now, and the doctor has put me on Gabentin. I was to take it 3 times a day, but could not tolerate it ,so he told me just take it at night for now. I feel like i am going to crawl out of my skin on some days. This whole feeling of getting the "electric shock feeling" is very scary.I hope someone out there may have some type of an answer for what this might be. PLEASE HELP.

 I have back problems and I also suffer from the sudden shocks the start at my feet and go up through my leg. The are so sudden and quick it's sometimes hard to pinpoint where the pain exits. Do you also have frequent headaches? When I go to my Chiropractor the headaches, back pain and shocks lesson. My doctor says my spin is the cause of the random issues. Lack of oxygen to the brain due to bad alignment. The problem is my insurance doesn't cover the frequent visits to the chiropractor. It does help when I go, so I try to pay for at least one visit a month. Try this but still get a few doctors opinions. MonetMichelle
Hi, I have the electrical currents and all over pins and needles. from cipro, levaquin given to me at mass amounts. It is a chemotheripic antibiotic and it blew out my nervous system. Literally. I wish I was dead.. The currents are horrible and the chills with it are similar to scratching your fingers down a blackboard 247 rushing through you on top of 5000 hornets stinging you all over.. After my 40 pill my system just BLEW OUT..   ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed*** Please read our Terms of Use
Hi i have been having this so called "shocks" to but when I told my doctor about it he said it was normal. I didn't think it was i have not yet gotten tested on it. But when I was 2 to 4 years old i had ALL cancer i am now currently 16 i have been having these shocks since i was little i don't understand what they are from but i just thought they might be one of my blood cells hitting a nerve or something. I get them in my thighs alot once in a while my stomach and chest and one very bad one on the temple of my head. I don't like them they make me jump and i usually itch them they burn and they hurt it kinda feels like a bad pinch but worse.
I took 4 scripts of levaquin with predisnone and my entire body was electrocuted. these are very dangerous antibiotics and cause tendon damage and all over electrical shocks, hornet stings, terror, pounding heart. It has been a year and I don't know how much longer I can do this.. They alter the dna. Go to facebook wall of pain.. the electrical currents with one script are not that bad and usually go, I was like I put my hands in light sockets and blew out my nervous system.. These drugs are not meant to be give, cipro avelox and levaquin with prednisone and NAIDS is TOXIC..   ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed*** Please read our Terms of Use
It's good to me as well that others have this too.    I do have the electric shock quite often.   Can happen when I get ready in the morning or just any time really.  I have never taken anti-depressants - I note that some of you ask that. I am quite anxious all the time - for as long as I can remember.  Thing is, the electric shock is mostly thru my arms and body but not my head as some of you say -- and it's a strange feeling -- it doesn't hurt but it feels -- well like electric shock going thru the body -- but it has also doubled and tripled.    This triple dose, man, feels like lightning coming in hitting on the electric shock. Some doctors don't know but I am seeing a Neurologist soon as I just have to have an explanation. What one doctor said is that they don't know but it has to do with the central nervous system. Feel free to write back. Mary
Im so frightened I developed a slight numbness in my right toe and pins and needles in my right hand in Aug which has now progressed to pins and needles in both feet and hands and electric shocks over my body.  I am seeing a neurologist in 4 weeks and am otherwise ok but have been through a real stressful period.  i have never felt so scared and feel like im going mad. Bloods are all fine.  Any thoughts would be appreciated. 
yes i just looked it up cause i was having them , i have been off of my zoloft for three days now and that is when i got them
I take zoloft but I have had this shocking feeling and its from my head all through my body and when it feels like it exits it hurts a lot. but my eyes seem to do their own thing, you kinda like a seizure??? i think???? so hard to explain this. Sometimes i also get dizzy. But this stuff started way before I was diagnosed with major depression, diabetes, anxiety, panic attacks and something else i can't remember right now. But trying to get my prescriptions refilled through the county and no family or neighbor is willing to take me to the pharmacy, the doctor, or the ER, so I have been without my zoloft for almost 2 weeks. I take 75 miligrams 2x a day. I also have insomnia really really really bad. sometimes i can sleep for 14 hours a day and other I can't sleep for 2 or 3 days at a time. I am also on trazadone that supposed to help with the insomnia, yea no it doesn't help at all. plus I have had this pain where my breast bone is for months now and the pain is getting worse and worse, plus it has extended down under the right breast and wrapped around my entire rib cage. feels like my kidneys are killing me! plus I have severe low back pain, hip pain in both hips, both shoulders, pain in both legs above the knee, right foot pain that feels like I am walking on the heel bone, painful burning in my right big toe, and I tell ya, I am not sure what to do. No doc appointments until february, and so i have to talk to the nurse practitioner on the phone, not a doctor. so right now my eyes are constantly doing their own thing as soon as i feel that 'shocking' feeling and it seems to run from my head down my face-eyes, nose, lips, chin and then throughout my body or at least through my hands and its painful. if anyone knows what i am going through that would be wonderful as I am alone here and not sure what to make of all of this.
