"Brain Buzz" - is this normal for quitting alcohol? [View all]

[Taverner]

I quit drinking a little over a week ago. No cravings for alcohol, but damned if I didn't feel like I've had a week long hangover.

The worst part, however, is the "brain buzz."

I've had these before when quitting opiates and when I went down on my SSRI meds

But I've been getting them CONSTANTLY since the day after I quit drinking

It's like if you turn your head, or move your eyes too quickly, I get dizzy and feel as if my brain was shooting an electrical current through itself. Hard to explain, but I hate it.

The lack of sleep isn't that fun either, but I'm starting to get to the chronic fatigue part now. Whoopee!!!
