These feelings you describe are like the feelings I had from the withdrawal [posted on my previous post]...it sounds exactly the same. Everything from the physical feelings to the "urges" or fear that you're going to lose it. I think the feeling that you describe like "free-basing" is like you're going to float/fly away? Sound right? Because that's how I felt...everytime I closed my eyes, like I was going to fall or fly or float, something...it's hard to explain.
The only diffrence is the pressure on the base of the neck, that happens to me from time to time and my doctor told me it stress related, whever I feel stressed it comes on. Might be why you're getting it during these episodes, too much stress on your body.
Btw, the post from Basia is right on. It's nice to find help on babble, somtimes doctors just don't get it.
> The feelings. The physical feelings that I have when these things occur and just prior to them occuring. These physical feelings or "urges"? of just losing it. Going out of control. My mind is everywhere, and not the normal everywhere. It isn't thinking straight, is all over the place, and I feel like I have to sit still so I don't go crazy. I will sit on the couch or in bed with my husband and just lose it internally. I have these horrible feelings in my head. Physcial feelings, pressure, etc.
> Not calm, pressure in the base of neck, my body feeling like it wants to jump out of my skin, rollercoaster type feelings, my brain feeling like it is being pulled up or "rising" from inside to the top of my skull. And the worse which is what seems to set the rest rolling is this...well the only way I can describe it is this swooshing all over my body like it feels when you free base cocaine or meth. It's not exactly like that and I don't like to use that analogy because it makes me sound like a junky, but it is kind of like that.
> These feelings continue through these attacks and some are still there even after I take zanax. I am just scared to death that one day I am gonna be in one of these episodes and that I will never come out of it.
