WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS: FEELINGS OF THE GROUND MOVING AND TINGLING, NUMBNESS, BURNING SENSATIONS
Feelings of the Ground Moving
Many people say that they feel as if the ground is moving when they walk, or that they are walking on cotton wool. It can be alarming but does settle down as withdrawal progresses. This unsteady gait (ataxia) can be experienced in severe anxiety states where no drugs are being used.
Tingling, Numbness, Burning Sensations
Many people complain of tingling and numbness in hands and feet (although the feelings can be anywhere), and also feelings like electric shocks going through the body. Some of the tingling may be due to overbreathing. It could be that an exaggeration of normal nerve impulses is the reason for the electric shock feelings. All these feelings and the burning in the spine, vulva and inner thighs (or elsewhere) also disappear when withdrawal is complete. _
Tingling feelings in withdrawal is complete.
