An Agitated Brain

Anyone feel this might be something more than withdrawal? I have such an agitated brain; it's like I can't stand to be in my skin. I feel like something gnawing away at it. It's impossible to fully describe but it's a restlessness that never goes away. I don't know how to even conduct myself anymore-like a horrendous reaction to medication that should never have been given....

It always feels like more than withdrawal in the moment. I really thought it was life for me in my worst anxiety period, but then a window came out of nowhere, and gave me hope that I might return to normal. The body heals, but there are sometimes major stresses that cause people (like me) to get on the meds in the first place, and we still have to deal with them. You've been through a lot, and I hope you know we're all cheering you on. Rise stronger!

Hardtocope when you say gnawing away do you mean that feeling is in your head? Because that's what I have that is the exact word I use to describe some of my head symptoms. Like something is gnawing in side my head at my brain.

76mom...It feels not a physical gnawing but just an agitation that won't let up-it drives me to have compulsions to want to flee my skin....it's unrelenting...

Mine is more physical. I have had the feeling though of wanting to flee I say I feel like I could peel my skin off. This stuff all sounds so crazy but it's the only way to describe how it feels

I understand...sorry you're having to endure that. The mental is about to get me. I wish I had a better set of coping skills but I don't...I just let it wash over me and react to it...prayers for relief.
