Question: Hi..I am looking for a neurologist to answer this question. I was taking vicodin, valium and ambien to get me through a back problem. Last Sunday, I took only vicodin and valium...woke up in middle of the night with very rapid muscle twitching in my right leg and well as my head and face felt like all the nerve were jumping..and it also went into my arms as twitches. This continued...on Wed. I took just 1/2 vicodin for the shotting nerve pains I was having...and that made it so much worse...now I feel like I have constant buzzing, twithincg, etlectric current running through my body from head to toe...and it is also making my head feel full of pressure and giving me headaches. Over the weekend, I decided to take some Ativan I have from vertigo...and gapapentin...did that for 3 nights...the weekend was bearable..I can still feel, however, the currents flowing through my body...it is just that they are muted. Once the Ativan wears off, it all revvs up again and is very painful. I am worried all this constant electric current will burn my nerves out or that I'm having a non-stop seizure of some sort. Can you help?

I haven't taken Vicodin since last Wed...and Valium since a week ago...now, though, I took 3 days of Ativan plus Gabapentin...and can function better...but now if I stop the Ativan will I have withdrawal or seizures?

I am still only taking 300 mg of gabapentin and have only been doing it 3 days...ativan between 1..5 - 2mg only at night...again, for only 3 days.

the effects I am having I think were from the vicodin and maybe valium..if my nerves keep firing...can they be permanently damaged over time...does the electric current burn them out>
