Brain Shakes

[figure817]

I've read other posts and questions about people experiencing "brain shakes" as a result of various conditions, or as a possible withdrawl symptom from AD drugs and such. However, I  have experienced the sensation of my brain shaking, long before I had ever taking any kind of prescribed drug of any sort, and i have never even once taken an AD drug. Though I remember is occuring before this, the first time I ever remember really acknowledging the brain shake was when i was kneeling down at a church altar. I had my head in my hands and it felt like someone inside my brian was shaking it back and forth, like a vibration almost. But I experienced no other symptoms with this. No pain, no fatigue. I've experienced this many times over the last 10 or so years, and I can't seem to find a common denominator to why this is occuring. Perhaps emotional stress is to blame, since that is a rather general, wide, and encompassing possibility. Any one else experienced this?

I just had this brain shaking feeling. It was like a vibration. I now have a dull headache. I have been under a lot of stress so maybe this is what caused it. I don't know. I'm kind of scared now.

I has this happen for the first time this morning.  I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep so went to the living room and fell asleep ont he couch with the tv on.  At about 7a.m. I was that realm when you aren't awake yet but not completely asleep either.  Then I felt like my brain was shaking inside my head and it woke me up.  I'm not sure how long it lasted....maybe 10-30 sec.  It scared me though.  I have been stressed having been out of work for almost a year now and wondering how I am going to pay the bills now that U.I. has run out.  Any answers as to why this happening would be greatly appreciated.

I am so delighted to read so many comments of ordinary folks who are dealing with this illness "brain shaking" sensation. My name is Jean Alexander and i am the author of "Fear my surrounding". My ordeal started back when i was a young boy traumatized and fearful of my environment, I begin to develop social anxiety disorder where i get anxious and my head shook uncontrollably. I can feel my brain foaming and a shaky sensation when i am around people. I go sleepless night angry at my circumstances it often cross my mind may be i am losing my mind.

I had this for the first time today, the only way I could describe it is my brain was vibrating also i kind of started to lose my hearing everything sounded fuzzy then i couldn't hear at all. just had it happen again i think it may be anxiety related. I used to have seizures years ago this wasn't a seizure at all. i just decided to look around on the web to make sure i wasn't crazy. very strange feeling.

i am 22 years old and i was just playing a video game with my husband tonight. we were talking on mics to a friend on our team and all of a sudden it felt like my brain was shaking in my head! i was panicked like omg am i having a seizure!? i did kinda feel like i was inside myself or something. my whole body kinda felt, i guess numb, but i could still move, it was like a dream or something. i had a headache for over an hour after and i rarely get headaches so i kind of get freaked out when i get one. i have a 3 year old baby boy so im hoping its nothing serious. i know they have warnings about seizures on video games and stuff so im scared of that. i play them a lot (mostly at night when my son is asleep or away for the night or whatever). a couple hours just about every night if i can. this has never happened before except once at school years ago but i hardly remember it, i only remember that it happened. i had something happen once about 6 or 7 years ago in my kitchen where it felt like my whole entire body was shaking on the inside so im wondering if there is a connection. i have actually felt that particular sensation more than once and it is really freaky. if anyone has any idea or relation to this please let me know. i have no insurance so i cant see a doctor so if i can maybe figure it out myself that would be good!

My brain shakes usually happen when I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing, (I.e talking to myself or something sexual o_o) but ever since I weaned myself off of zoloft, I've been experiencing them irregularly and also irregular heart beating. Any suggestions?
