Help... Internal Tremors/Buzzing

[Guest_41]

Hey all...

I have been getting this really odd internal vibration buzzing feeling in my legs, stomach & chest for about a month now... ever since I came off an antidepressant (it started while I was on the antidepressant)... It only happened occasionally to begin with but now I'm dealing with it all day & everyday.
Every time I mention it to a Dr they brush me off or on one occasion I was blatantly ignored...
I honestly don't know what to do? Anyone had this? Is it anxiety related or do I need to take this further?
I forgot to mention I also feel very rundown but I also have a 4 months old Daughter who isn't sleeping well..

HELP!!!

Hi Guest_41, I've specifically signed up to reply to your post. I found your post while googling internal vibrations myself because I have exactly the same symptoms except for the sweaty palms. Started in my feet a few months ago. Now throughout my body. Its far more noticeable at night when I'm still but it seems to be there all the time. Sometimes there's a momentary pause to the buzzing, then it continues. I'm in similar age group, post menopausal. I wonder if hormonal changes are a factor. I'm physically & mentally pretty fit, I'm not suffering from anxiety, have no history of depression and I haven't been on any medications of any kind recently. I've had blood tests, eliminating Parkinsons, thyroid issues etc. My GP has no idea what is causing it. If I get any answers I'll post them here. I hope you'll do the same. Thanks, J

I have been suffering from internal tremors for some time, I'm 43. When l talk to friends or the GP they don't really understand.

I find going to sleep very difficult as l feel my whole chest shaking. It's scary and l find it so hard to relax.

im starting to notice it more during the day now as well. I've decided to cut out caffeine, alcohol and see if a change in diet helps.

If anyone has any ideas as to what this is and how to reduce the symptoms please let me know.

Hi Breekim,

My husband has been suffering from the same symptoms for 6 month now. He has been to a neurologist and an ENT specialist. The ENT said he has inner ear fluid and put him on some medication which did not help. He doesn't seem to think it's his ear and he feels it's something more serious but he is at the end of the road with tests.

Hoq are you coping and have you gotten any answers of what this could be?

Hi Guest_41,

I can share my own experience. I came off of anti depressants over 12 months ago and have experienced pretty bad physical & physiological symptoms since. I believe i have protracted withdrawal syndrome as a result of taking an SNRI for over 15 years and not tapering slow enough when stopping it (5 week taper). Same problem with doctors fobbing me off and pointing the finger at anxiety but unable to explain how the physical symptoms are present 24x7 without the feeling of fear or anxiety. I found support in another large online forum that deals specifically with people suffering from this.

Hi,

my best advice is to google "brain Zaps" and take it from there. I know exactly what you mean and think you will find the info you are looking for . x

Hi Guest_41,

i am experiencing the same thing and I was wondering how things are going for you now?

i feel constant internal shaking/vibrating all through my body but particularly in my head. My doctor is sending me for an MRI. I’m pretty scared what that could show.

i hope your condition has improved.

Definitely ask a GP -- maybe a different one -- for tests on your thyroid, iron and B12.
I was experiencing the internal shaking buzzing, especially when I woke up in the night. All of my thyroid, iron and B12 were low, but since taking thyroid meds, B12 and iron supplements it has all improved. After about 6 weeks, it's not perfect yet, but definitely way better that it was. If you're low in iron or B12 will also need to do some other tests to rule out internal bleeding. If your periods are super heavy that can also contribute to low iron.
Wishing you all the best in your search for answers.

Hi Guest_41,

first of all I wish you are doing well without any internal vibration anymore.

I have been feeling exactly the same for past two months. It started slowly and now it is constantly happening. More pronounced while resting and in the night. Initially my GP just ignored the symptoms but when I started anxiety attacks, I requested him to investigate further. I am deficient in Vitb 12, bit d, raised liver functions, raised platelets. He just gave me supplements and was not concerned. My symptoms increased and I could feel my brain vibrating. I asked my gp for an mri as I do have chronic migraine and it also increased. My mri has few flares in the frontal lobes. I saw my neurologist and he didn’t validate my symptoms. He gave me migraine care and Endep, which didn’t stop my symptoms. Now I am constantly battling with irritating whole internal vibrations . I am unable to sleep because of vibrations and the fear related to something more dangerous diagnoses.

i really hope something helped you with your symptoms. Please reply how are you feeling now.

thanks

Hi Adelaide

i am struggling with the same problem. It seems like I am unable to prove myself as the vibrations are not visible.

I hope your MRI was normal and you are not feeling any of these symptoms.

i look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks
