Suggest Treatment For Abnormal Sensation In Brain

Hi. I have a very weird problem that is hard to describe. You know when you lose your stomach... Well I m having thy feeling in my brain and it s happening constantly and lasts for a split second each time. I ve felt this before but it was like once a month. Now it s at least once a minute over the past few days. I tapered off Ativan 7 weeks ago. I tapered off citalaphram 2 weeks ago. I quit drinking hard liquor 1 week ago. Stopped smoking and dip about 3 days ago. Stopped cocaine almost 3 weeks ago. Their is no pain and no feeling of vertigo or dizzyness. Very concerned.

Hello!
I understand your concern.
As I see you have been using antidepressants, alcohol, cocaine. The troubles you have are probably from abstinence . Alcohol , smoking and cocaine can bring to addiction. Sudden stop can cause troubles called abstinence.
Also use of cocaine and alcohol can cause serious changes to the brain blood flow.
I would recomend you to see a toxicologist. You may need to restart Ativan which can help reduce these symptoms.
Alcohol intake should be interrupted under a specialist consult.
Hope to have been helpful.
Thank you for using HCM! Best wishes!
