Driving

[[I ...]]

Anyone have weird feeling either driving or being a passenger in a vehicle? Can't describe the feeling but it definitely comes as soon as I drive or am a passenger in a moving vehicle. And it lasts about an hour after I leave the vehicle. Can anyone describe their feeling if you have this??

I've seen a few members post about this, that they didn't feel comfortable driving for a long time in withdrawal.  I imagine driving or riding in a car puts stress on our overtaxed CNS which makes it feel uncomfortable - and that the feeling will fade as you heal.

Sadly, I still struggle with these symptoms.

 

I have read that agoraphobia is super common during withdrawal.

This comes and goes for me. A couple weeks ago it hit in the middle of driving and I had to pull over and have my daughter drive ( a teen). Things spun so bad I thought I was going to vomit. Other times I just feel really disconnected and I think its like a processing delay from what you are seeing to what your brain is registering. I am thankful 80-90% I can drive.

 

Sometimes my kids ask to have me watch a racing game their doing...I just can't. Something as simple as old school mario karts is too much!

Thank you all for your responses. I sure hope this feeling goes away. I just want to able to drive in peace.

Can't drive any more as fear I may have hit people while driving. Not driven for months thanks to good old zopiclone.

I have always loved driving. But in month 56 I still don't dare to drive. I'm so scared I'm causing an accident because focusing is hard.

I have not driven in 2 years.  I should say that I still can't leave the house either, so even riding in a car is not possible for me.
