Strange head thing

[[ap...]]

I have developed a feeling like my head is slightly jerking forward especially when laying down. My thoughts seem to be buried deep into my head. What is this? Thoughts are delayed and faraway

Hi again

 

I am sorry you are experiencing jerking. The nerves to the muscles are hyperexcitable, leading to tremor, tics, jerks, etc.  We experience  all kinds of bodily sensations in withdrawal.

 

This is from Ashton Manual:

 

The Ashton Manual

 

Bodily sensations. All sorts of strange tinglings, pins and needles, patches of numbness, feelings of electric shocks, sensations of hot and cold, itching, and deep burning pain are not uncommon during benzodiazepine withdrawal. It is difficult to give an exact explanation for these sensations but, like motor nerves, the sensory nerves, along with their connections in the spinal cord and brain, become hyperexcitable during withdrawal. It is possible that sensory receptors in skin and muscle, and in the tissue sheaths around bones, may fire off impulses chaotically in response to stimuli that do not normally affect them.
