my brain is hurting

Posted by mike lynch on August 27, 2004, at 15:05:49

Ever since I came off SSRI's..everytime I concentrate on something, it feels like someone is applying pressure to my brain...it's a very strange feeling..it usually happens when I am concentrating on something complex.
This has never happened before I was put on SSRI's..it's not withdrawal because I was put on prozac...and of course withdrawal is almost nill with that drug...(i've been off it for a month to) Anyone expereince something similar..any explanations.? It may be similar to lifting wieghts while you injured a muscle..that maybe the only thing I can correlate it to..

Is it a pain sensation or more of an intense brain fatigue?

I'd say it's more like a pain sensation..it happens immediately after I start concentrating..not after a long period of time or anything like that.

That sounds like what Larry calls "brain cramps". I don't have that problem but he uses taurine for that himself. You might want to ask him about it. Actually, I think there's a post on the alternative board right now where he talks about it.
