Yes I have, it's like a jolt.

 

I would say if you're dreaming, you are healing.

I have had dreams all throughout my taper, some of them not too pleasant.

 

If Edgar Allan Poe was still living, he'd like me.

Yes Sigma0123 is like a jolt....... I didn't know the word but it is the right word for this symptom of healing.

 

I read you are on Clonopin taper, I bet your are now healing as well. I am now free of Clonazepam since March and every time I think about this I feel very proud of me and make me feel so responsible of my health. It is difficult but it worth

 

So you are in the right way to health !

Hi Sergio, I've had this happen on occasion. I've read others complain about this as well, along with muscle jerks now and then. I went away for me, I think it will for you too. 

 

Keep healing

Sergio,

 

No, I'm tapering Valium, but I'm getting there.

 

Yes, it's worth it in the end.

 

Hang in there, you're healing.

I have had this happen a lot, but it most often occurs when I am falling asleep more so than once I am asleep. It is almost like that transition phase between reality and dreamworld is where we are most vulnerable.  It is very scary and it takes a little while before I can regain my composure and assure myself that I am okay.  Dreams of tripping or falling are often the trigger for me.

thank you Crono

 

Yes, it happens when I am falling asleep but several times when I am already sleeping. I hope this could be a good symptom of recover

Sergio, that happens to me too, mostly when I'm falling asleep. Muscle jerks or electric shocks. At first it scared me a lot, until I realized that many people withdrawing from benzos get that. I do think it means you are healing and your body is trying to adjust back to its normal state.

This is probably myoclonus  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoclonus

 

I can get myoclonic jerks and hypnic jerks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk

 

Medication can cause this especially anti-depressants. You will seldom see it as a listed side effect and in the past doctors were puzzled by my reaction to ssri's and snri's. It is a bit of a hidden bother as no doctor will ever warn of it but it happens. I honestly suspect your lexapro as you are off benzos which are the prescription medicine first used here for such ailments. It is a side effect not a disease and I do not myself think it is part of the healing process.
