Hi Footprints (or anyone else for that matter), I hope you are still out there. I had oculogyric crisis in Sept. of 06. after a D&C for a miscarriage I had. I was given anesthesia and after awakening from the short surgery- my jaw was locked and my teeth clenched. The recovery room discounted my symptoms and released me. Then when I got in the car, my eyes started rolling back and kept going upwards like you described. (VERY VERY painful.) Also my neck and head kept going back. Finally after about 8 hours of suffering- I was brought back into the emergency room. I was terrified and begging my doctor to knock me out. Then I asked him if to figure out what was wrong with me (through my clenched teeth) and what had happened and if he couldnt make me normal again to not make me "come back" (at the time I thought it was brain damage or a stroke of some kind). I was literally resigned on dying b/c I thought they seriously screwed me up. I had NEVER EVER felt like that or ever wanted to die in my life.

Anyway, the reason I am even on here is to search for someone else who had this. The reason being is because ever since that day (6 months ago) I have had headaches, dizziness, hot flush-like feelings in my face and bad nausea. I have been to a gazillion doctors and all my bloodwork came back normal. Now Ive been diagnosed with anxiety/depression. I have NEVER had any issues with anxiety or physical symptoms before this. Obviously- I have developed some sort of depression in the last few months (mostly feeling sorry for myself type of depression because I am physically sick every single day and its affected my life.) I was wondering if ANYONE could tell me if theyve ever heard of a reaction like this with such long term effects. I am at my wits end and have exhausted all types of doctors and specialists. They can tell me what is wrong. I reluctantly went on Lexapro (an antidepressant) about 6 weeks ago and it hasnt done a thing to alleviate my symptoms. This just confirms my belief that it is not anxiety/depression. Anyone???? Please help Thanks so much, Maria.
