Hi! I'm new here.
I just wanted to ask you something.
When having what I call a crisis, does your brain feel like it's having electric shocks?
I swear that's what it feels like. I also get confused and don't understand anything. It's like a thunderstorm in there.

Welcome to Psych Central, HCZero! Have you been getting off of a drug? Drug withdrawal symptoms can include a sense of electric shock feelings in the brain.

I had a weird headache at the back of my head where the brain meets the neck for days before my last major episode. I also felt popping in my head. I wasn't on any meds at the time.

Welcome!

Actually yeah. Now that I think about it. There was an error with my prescription and the doctor told me she couldn't make another one for Neurontin or Gabapentin. So I'm off that med for a month because of that error. They give me that cause I'm diabetic and I have peripheral neuropathy.

Welcome!

Maybe it's that one med I'm off for the moment cause of an error with my prescription. Neurontin. I get headaches too but feeling that weird electricity it makes me uncomfortable. Yeah the popping too, it's horrible.

Why can’t they call in another script?

Well my doctor's son, who is a doctor too, made me a prescription. When I took it to the pharmacy they said that my health plan doesn't accept prescriptions from another doctor who's not my primary doctor, which is bs. So I got frustrated and threw it away and called the doctor to make me a new one. She said she couldn't make me a new one cause that one was already made and I threw the other one away. She told me that the health plan was wrong about the other prescription. I have to wait now til the 29 to get the new prescription. My health plan is horrible and they have so many errors in the system but they don't fix them.

Hope it gets worked out , running out of something helpful is hell.
