shocks thoughout my body

[nel1330]

Hi
For the past 3 months or so Ive been getting these "shocks" (it feels like a really small burst of electricity?) thoughout my mouth, hands, head and ears. I take Cymbalta, Vistiril and Propanollol(when needed). It happens when I sit down and only lasts for 2 seconds or so. I do have a history of passing out due to big drops in blood pressure, but it doesnt feel like low blood pressure. I was just wondering if anyone knows what this can be
Thanks

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The feeling could be the side effects of the drugs you are taking, hence talk to your doctor regarding that.Changing the dose or timing of the medication often helps.
The jolting pains can also be due Vit D or Vit B12 deficiency, ankylosing spondylitis causing multiple pinched nerves, or due to sciatica which happens due to pinched sacral nerve root.
Get the blood levels of the above checked. You would need to consult an orthopedic specialist and the treatment will involve medicines, physiotherapy and maybe surgery if need be.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

it's probably a side effect from one of the medications you are taking.  Especially if there are changes in mg or if you don't take your meds around the same time each day.  I get that if i dont take my meds on time each day.  im super sensitive to changes in my body though.

did you recently change from another antidepressant? Some people describe that happening when they stop taking certain SSRIs.
