Sorry if I'm everywhere with this😢... so I been on xanax 0.25 for 6-8 months.

From fingers twitching to muscles jerk --->

Stomach legs and arms. To body jolts or shaking sesnsations or brain zaps

Tingling in fingers my hands and feet

And body vibrations weird taste in my mouth can't explain it.. also randomly getting sick to my stomach... I had pstd due to surgery ping wrong in ever since then health anxitey💔

This all lead me to think I'm going or am close to having a seizure. Anyone else with fear and you have a seizure from stressing over having one?

I have a severe fear of seizures too. fortunately for us, if you're already a teenager or adult and have never had a seizure it is unlikely youll ever have one. Head injuries, severe sleep deprivation (im talking like 5 days), a fever over 105 or ODing/withdrawing on a drug are the only ways you could have a seizure now. Ive had all of the symptoms you have. Even the weird taste in my mouth. Also, xanax actually prevents seizure so since you're on it you're even less likely to have one. I hope i helped a little. Have a good day (:

oh, and anxiety and stress will not cause a seizure unless you have epilepsy!
