What Causes Shock Like Spasms Throughout The Body?
I have had shock like spasms that pulse through my entire body. I read that celexa can cause this symptom.
I've had that this happening to me off and on over the last approx. 20years. No dr. ever knew what it was. It has always scared me. I thought maybe I was having Tia's. I would like a neurologist to tell me what is happening to me.
