Scary "electrical" feeling headaches

yes i have, It comes and goes like you said. I will have several days of these "shocks" and then nothing for a week and then several days again. I have told my doc about it and she was not concerned. She gave me no possible reasons for these. It is hard to just deal with something and not be concerned when it hurts so darn bad. It feels like lightning is stricking inside your head.

Klonopin 1mg for anxiety and panic attacks-----Midrin for Migranes(do nothing for me)

topamax 100mg ---preventative for migranes

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Have tried effexor, prozac and celexa for depression

Actually just got put back on effexor XR 75mg

Have tried maxalt, and imitrex for migranes

when I have them i have probably a "shock" about every 2-3 minutes but like I said, for me they come and go from day to day. I usually have them about 6-7 days a month. They are not predictible at all. I have kept a log of when I get them, what i am doing, and what medications I have taken that day. I do not have any simalarites in my log. its a mystery that my doc is not concerned enough to solve. I have had an mri but not on a day that I was having these shocks. It was just an mri to try to deterimine why i was having migranes, that is yet to be solved as well. Let me know how your appointment goes and if your doctor gives you any clues.

Good luck! Sorry you are experiencing this, its a scary feeling!

L'hermitte's sign, from what I've read on it, only occurs when you move your head forward towards your chest. This test is one of many, many tests done for Multiple Sclerosis.

I have actually had the electrical type shocks in my head several months ago that came and went for about 2 months and went away after being on Topamax for about 2 months. I haven't had a problem with this since then.
