Electric shock feeling thru whole body
493 answers - active on Jun 17th 2021
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 had the same issue with the shocks through my whole body when trying to stop taking Paxil.
I ended up in the Dr's office and later the ER. No one knew what was causing it till I told my pharmacist and he mentioned it sounded like Paxil withdrawal to him. (he said it messed up your 'electric system' in your body.) It truly felt like I was getting hit by lightning every 2 minutes or so for hours one day, then again the next. NOT FUN! /hugs (I'm now on efexxor and it works great with no electric shocks.)

Thank you. You are absolutely right. I am experiencing these electric jolts right now. And I had stopped taking Zoloft for a while. I just wanted to get rid of it. Thus, I developed these electric jolts. These feelings are so bad and irritating. You feel like you are going to fall down or lose consciousness. But it doesn't happen. It seems like a fake signal. Thank you again for your advice. I will get back to Zoloft then.

Hi I am on here searching for the same information for the same symptoms. I have experienced this phenomenon on numerous occasions. I have spoken to many MD's about it, and they really don't have any answers. The only differnce I have with symptoms, which I have not seen any one else state, is that there seems to be a lag time between what is occurring and my mind processing it (perhaps 1/10 of a second). It feels much like when you are watching a film that the audio and visual are not in sync.
There seems to be an awful lot of people who are experiencing much the same thing. If these strings on the internet are any indicator.
I MEGA DOSED WITH VITAMIN B-COMPLEX..B-12 AND B-6.. STARTED OUT WITH 3×A DAY FOR 7 DAYS..THEN 2×A DAY FOR A LONG TIME. ALMOST GONE NOW.. I HAD THE MIND LAG ALSO..HOPE THIS HELPS!! IT IS A NIGHTMARE TO HAVE THIS. ALSO CHARCOAL TABLETS TO REMOVE METALS 1×A DAY FOR A WEEK.
I have the symptoms. I also use fixodent with the zinc could this metal be a sourse of the problem? I've had a b-12 shot at drs office. Also I heard it might be a lack of magnesium. I take xanax and don't feel a thing with 1/2 mg at night. I fall asleep without feeling a thing. But I know its just masking it. Afraid of it getting stronger.
Thanx doc that is exaly what they found i am on selabrex and pain pillsGE

I just started having the shocking zapping sensation yesterday, once and I thought what was that, but then I had it a couple times this morning and thought weird. I just had one that scared the crap out of me!! I was trying to go to sleep and I got zapped a couple of times, but the third time I was half asleep and I couldn't open my eyes and I felt like I was dying. I finally was able to open my eyes and my heart felt like it was on fire!! Honestly, right now, I am scared to death!
