I've had "in another zone" feelings for a few hours maybe once a month for a couple of years.
It just went to a whole new level. The first time was last week when I took 2 100mg of Neurontin. Holy scary sh**! I was driving and had weird sensations waving through my head and body, felt I was in another world, and my muscle control was lessened, including breathing and swallowing. I was afraid it was going to get worse and I would lose control of the car.
A couple of days ago I had the weird sensations & zoned-out for maybe half of the day.
Yesterday it started out with just some "weird sense of reality", then progressed throughout the day including the strange nerve chemical sensations throughout my head & body. Something was seriously wrong with me. I became more & more out of it. And luckily I was with a friend when it went overboard with overwhelming feelings I had never experienced and my hands were contracting with little control. I went to the ER, they took some blood, gave me an IV and some xanax, and told me to call my dr. to see if I should get an MRI.
Today I still feel really weird, I guess related to the depersonalization/derealization stuff.My pdoc said it sounds like a panic attack...?
- Does this sound like a panic attack, including the hands clamping? I haven't felt nervous about anything and anxiety has not really been my issue - just depression & agitation.
- These started when I first took the Neurontin. It has been a week since I took it, but could it have set something off in me?
- Would an MRI be of any value?
