Question 3

thought i was going to die during bikram yoga. cant breathe, nausea. i think from psychiatric drug withdrawal over 7 weeks effects.geodon, (ziprasidone) celexa, et

Accepted Answer

& your question is?: I'd like to help but don't see any question here.
I can try to guess a question. Psychiatric drug withdrawal can cause your symptoms, though it is a bit unusual to persist for 7 weeks. You might have been reacting to the heat, could also be due to anxiety, or maybe you have a virus. There are good natural alternatives to psych meds; it would be wise to see a holistic md or naturopath for guidance.

Question 4

people say during opiate withdrawal it feels like there skin is crawling/buzzing from head to toe. i find it interesting & curious why that happens?

Accepted Answer

Increased blood pres: some docs think the skin crawling/buzing are related to the increase in blood pressure during withdrawl, treated with clonidine

Question 5

pulled an all nightet after bikram yogaended at ten. tried to sleep but my brain would notfall asleep. happens often. brain psychiatric drug withdrawa

Accepted Answer

Insomnia?: It sounds like you're having difficulty with insomnia.  There are many possible causes for this -- including drug/alcohol abuse and psychiatric illnesses such as bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder.  There are also primary insomnias.  If you already have a psychiatrist, please see him/her about this problem.  If not, start with your primary care physician.

Question 6

can cymbalta (duloxetine) withdrawals be the reason why the back of my head hurts when i touch it slightly or is it stress?

Accepted Answer

I don't know if the: Cymbalata is contributing to this or not - but stress can cause increased tension of the head, neck and shoulder muscles to the point that they can become painful to the touch.

Question 7

took dogmatil for 7 years. can withdrawal cause anxiety, tactile pain to back of head in a straight line upward, tension at top of head and dizziness?

Accepted Answer

Dogmatil: Dogmatil is an antipsychotic. A gradual taper of any medication you've been on for 7 years is probably better than suddenly stopping. Sudden changes with Dopamine could cause neurological symptoms.  I'd also wonder what condition you had/have that resulted in receiving this prescription?  Please discuss with your own physician -- decision to taper should be a joint process.

Question 8

hematoma in arm from blood withdrawal . still have a lump under skin 4 months after blood withdrawal. cause for concern?  .

Accepted Answer

No.: Unfortunately, you might have developed a fibrosis at the site of hematoma.

Question 9

can prescribed amphetamines cause resting head tremor? how long does it last? is it withdrawal or cause? would withdrawal happen within only a month?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Use and withdrawal could precipitate and/or exacerbate underlying tremoring condition. More likely with use. Neither should last more than couple days after last use. Use related tremor could emerge after first dose in vulnerable individuals. Amphetamine withdrawal syndrome could emerge after a month&#x27;s regular use, however withdrawal related tremoring should not persist beyond couple days.

Question 10

can methadone withdrawl make your skin feel like bugs are biting you?

Accepted Answer

Opiate withdrawal: Opioid withdrawal symptoms might include yawning, sweating, running nose, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, dilated pupils, chills, palpitation, hypertension, nausea/vomiting, cramping abdominal pains, diarrhea, and muscle aches and pains......
It's possible to feel different sensation on your skin as well.
