In reply to electro-shock sensation in my heart, posted by Bookgurl99 on April 8, 2002, at 8:22:16
> I have been coming off of Serzone (in an attempt to resolve some scary cognitive problems I've been having) quite suddenly. I had a seizure-like trunk jerking two nights ago in the middle of the night, and now feel an electro-shock sensation in my heart momentarily at night.
I've suffered from electro-shock sensations in my heart also. It was years ago and i wasn't on meds (remitting major depressive episode with prominent anxiety).
I believe those sensations are anxiety-related; i used to have them with no apparent anxiety. I used to have sore muscles also (especially in the legs). I believe all these symptoms to be a somatization of anxiety.
Don't you worry, you're not crazy and you're heart it's fine. Have a electrocardiogram just to make sure.
