What Can Cause Dizziness And Rapid Eye Movements After Receiving A Ziconotide Shot?

I just had a trial injection of ziconotide on 8/13/2018. Four hours after the injection I was unable to walk, my head was spinning and my eyes shook wildly in my head. I was unable to urinate. It felt like my bladder was bursting. I went to the ER. They did a Ct scan and an MRI. All results came back normal. It was not until today that I could walk out of the ER with any type of stability. Beware of the evil snail.

Hi,

It seems to be fibromyalgia, and it may not be the injection of Ziconotide that is causing the symptoms. Fibromyalgia is a kind of functional disease. If the imaging studies like CT and MRI are unremarkable, then it is nothing to worry. But keep your morale high, try to come out of the stress.

Hope I have answered your query.
