This feels akin to a mini panic attack. It’s very short-lived lasting 15 – 30 seconds but can cluster when in the in between sleep and wake state. It’s very unsettling as anxiety symptoms are… Klonopin helps this but it takes a while to get into my system after a period off. So, I struggle with them for several days even if things go well once the K kicks in.

> Hope this helps you. up 'n' downIve had brain *shivers* at night sometimes when im trying to fall asleep ill jump from it,personaly i believe this is a result of either current medication or a consequeance of prior medication as i took just about all the ssris.Its a very scary thought to know that can happen to me,makes me think something is so very very wrong,like u klonopin usualy qwells it.
Nightime is the only time it happens to me,and its occasional thank goodness.
