Movement

Does anyone feel like they are on a boat and their brain is moving around. I get this symptom 24/7. It's their everyday and doesn't stop.

Anybody? I have this everyday with pressure. It's the same thing everyday. It's not getting better.

Hi @[Te...] How are you feeling today?

Yes. This is a symptom I've had. I'm three months off now - and no longer have this symptom, however when I was tapering off not one, but TWO benzos concurrently, I had this symptom. It was ODD. 

I have gone on many cruises - small ships large ships - lots of ships. I know the feeling of rocking around and swaying. It feels like being on a boat. I know the feeling - and yes, very consistent with Benzo WD. It's 'normal' in the sense that this is a symptom of benzo WD. I did vertigo exercises and that seemed to help. Also - no sugar or caffeine - also helped. 

Let me know if you have other specific questions. Hang in there.
