Has anone had an Anxuety Seizure?

[barbiejo123]

or heard if one?
I apparently had one related to my ongoing Anxiety about a month ago.
I stretched, my legs started to buckle and jerk as did my whole body.
Fell to the ground on my back, my arms shot up beside my head in clenched fists and I chomped my tongue once.

Not epilepsy. I am desperatedly trying to get help.

What kind of docs have you seen and tests have you had done?  Unless you have some underlying condition or you are on a medication, like a benzodiazepine (ie Ativan, Xanax) that had run out and you stopped taking abruptly, anxiety itself would not cause a seizure.

Are you taking any medications?  Can you elaborate a bit on your history for us?

My roommate suffers from severe anxiety and has had 2 seizure related to that so I can say that I have heard of it.  He is on anti-anxiety medicine and he says that unless he runs out early it keeps him from having the seizures.
