Shooting knife like pain and spasm

[[Mi...]]

Hi all,

 

I am 12wks. almost 3mo. into taper at about half of the dose from start. (Lorazepam)

for the last couple of weeks I have been having shooting knife like pain in various places on

back and shoulders. Sometimes the spasms keep me down for a day or two, use wet heat

and ice packs.

 

This morning I started to get lesser shooting pains in my head, mostly in the front and right temple.

 

I would appreciate any feed-back or suggestions.

Sounds like wd to me. Sorry you have this. It does go away eventually.

I don't think that where you are in your taper really matters when describing symptoms as they all come and go at different times for everyone.  When I had that symptom I was rx'ed a muscle relaxer that was very helpful.

 

Best wishes.

This sounds like spasms in a way. I have burning at the end of each one.

If this is what you're describing?

I have them in my back most of all.

I had shooting head pains, like being stabbed with a knife.  They were very quick, but soooo painful, and very scary.  I would get days where I had them 4-5 times during the day, and other days - none at all.

OMG I have had this going on sporadically and I never ever heard anyone describe it exactly like I was feeling it.  Sometimes that stabbing pain in my shoulder knocks the wind out of me...and when I get it in my head (usually front/top/right side) it scares the hell out of me!!  I am so relieved to know I am not alone and it is definitely a symptom.  It will go away...mine is so random now.
