[No...] Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Depersonalization and derealization are both the symptoms you are referring to. There are a hundred other symptoms that are common. This is your brain trying to heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Dw...] Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I could reflect as I could have something similar with what you describe. In my case I assign that to trait of being extra sensitive / introvert and also too much interested in philosophy, psychology and searching for the meaning of life. I sometimes get very anxious if I read too much of these books and think too much . It helps to distract your self and do something more earthbound, walking in nature / hiking, gardening, housekeeping... and also social events (friends) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[li...] Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 This also happened to me with Xanax, it feels like chemical fire burning through the body. I used to call it the "snake bite" It was nasty. It peaked about 2 weeks and was less after that. It was coupled with some epic and nasty anxiety which is also a withdrawal symptom. Yeah, its really no fun, but it will pass. The feeling has not really returned except for maybe very mildly for me since then. Good luck- reach out if you need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes EXACTLY it feels like "chemical" fire burning,it is not really physical feeling! Its total horrible. Its like soul is burning / have some kind of corrosive feeling. I think it has passed for me too, but I still have the constantly anxiety and dp/dr how long have you been off xanax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ve...] Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Omg!!!! Exactly how I feel at times....to the T! These symptoms actually showed up at the END of my taper! Maybe it means you're almost done!!! Woohooo! Ps. Suicidal thoughts were so scary to me! It I shared every thought always with my husband, because I knew it couldn't be me convincing myself of this! I was so scared! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[tw...] Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I got more burning the lower I got in my taper and especially after I jumped. I felt like there was acid in my veins and brain or something. It's awful. It's your CNS and brain trying to come back online, in my opinion. It's also your body releasing adrenaline and your body is now responding - the klonopin had prevented that. In the past, my "fire brain" was usually followed by either severe confusion, anxiety or lack of sleep, and then after a week, I was typically worlds better.
