Also if you're contracting your eye (closing it) that can be called blepharospasm. I know for me it's more of a flutter.
They can be strongly exacerbated by use/abuse of anti-anxiety medication!! Just a heads up. I myself have experienced this upon discontinuation of medication. However by that same token, they may be temporarily more severe during a period of discontinuation of a drug therapy. In many cases they'll get less severe. For me they have in this situation, although they did still persist to a lesser degree.
thegreaseman: that last bit is called a tremor. I already have essential tremor (genetic, benign shaking- in my hands) but the anxiety makes it sooo much worse. If you have that and it causes trouble for you (people remarking on it mostly) you should ask to be prescribed a beta blocker. It helps with that and it sorta helps with anxiety too.
and actually I have experienced shaking in my head when I had tremor + anxiety real bad. so that may be similar to what you're saying
Hey nincompoop (lol). The last bit you said about your head, I don't shake. It is more like my head literally will jerk forward. I don't lose consciousness, it's like upper body and head literally fall forward. It so far has only happened when I'm seated so I haven't ever fallen over from it. It could be related to usage of 3t1z0l@m. I'm not sure but it was scary when it happened.
