[Depersonalized]

Does anyone have the effect of mild headache in different parts of the brain, sometimes its like a burning feeling. It increases when I try to go to sleep, everything seems with its volume turned up, every sound makes me twitch, little muscle spasms all over my body.

I have this constant light ringing in my ears, can't listen to my black/death metal tunes anymore :evil:, because it feels like someone is hitting me with a sledge hammer.

i had everything you described, except the muscle twitching stopped a while ago, and i wouldn't call the ringing in my ears "light", it drives me nuts sometimes. short answer, anxiety and adrenaline.

I've got basically all that except for the headaches, although I do get that feeling of "pressure" in the head sometimes.

I can totally relate to the sounds making you twitch, for me it's like any sound can have the "jolt" effect of a sudden surprise.

And the ringing in the ears is always there too...I've only had it disappear a few times since I've had DP and anxiety.

the ringing in the ears is tinnitus that can be caused through anxiety....i suffer with it but can cope with it until everything is silent then the buzzing drives me nuts......sound been really loud is aso from the anxiety....i use to feel like i could jump out of my skin when people shut doors....give it time things will settle down....i think my hearing is now normal but the tinnitus is still here

I get pulsatile tinnitus when I lay in bed at night (from being hunched over this computer during the day).

the ringing is apparently from muscle inflamation in the neck/jaw, or so says the ear doc who told me to take 600mg ibuprofin 3x a day for it, but i'm scared of stomach ulcers and already popping plenty of pills. as long as i know it's not permenant, i can deal. Valium stops my tinnitus quick, cuz it's a heck of a powerful muscle relaxant.

Ear ringing can actually be caused by a build up of wax in the ear, and that's relatively common.

It's a longshot, but getting your ears syringed by your doctor might actually solve the problem for some of you. I might even get it done myself, at some point.
