Feeling Drunk all the time

[Jacobdv]

Hi,
For the past many years I've had this feeling of being drunk all the time.
It started when I was13. After a session of playing at school, I started to feel dazed and drunk, like I was in a dream. Very soon I started to have this felling ALL the time. Every single moment of every day for the last eight years. Initially I was very worried and complained to my parents and family doctor but to no avail. I learnt to ignore this feeling.But not any more. This condition has adversely affected my studies. I have become physically and mentally inactive. A simple task of reading is a challenge.
Things around me don't fell real...like in a dream. I've visited a neurologist several time and even had an MRI scan and various blood tests. All were normal.I'm really frustrated and confused. I'll be very grateful if someone could at least diagnose this condition.

Has anyone found anything? Is it candida? Gut fermentation?

Wow. So many answers. Has anyone mentioned that perhaps your eye muscles (which you have 12) might be pulling your eyeball out of sync? This is what has happened to me, and I cannot drive at all. I become completly drunk. I can only drive a mile or two, that is it.

I do have a neurological disease: neuromyotonia. That is what causes my muscles to react in the way that they do. Not saying that this is your problem, but it might be that your eye muscles need prisms or surgery. Have you tried this yet?

Hi lilnewk...sorry for the late reply...but yes, it's still there. I just completely stopped all medication because of the adverse side effects (Antidepressants which caused insomnia which required sleeping pills etc.) I'm learning to live with this. I'm working too. I must have mentioned the silent migraine thing to a doc. Don't remember what happened.

I was in a car accident in August and fractured my T7 & T8 vertebrae, since December I have been having panic attacks and this past two weeks I been having the feeling of being drunk.  I have been off my meds for 2 weeks now so I know it's not them interfering with my body. I can't drive highways or roads with no shoulders or night time or bad weather.  I am getting worse ever day and my doctor is doing nothing, and no it's not silent migraines because I do get them and they are nothing like this. I don't know what to do any more.

I feel that way too.  It seems to be a chronic silent migraine or migraine associated vertigo.  The only way to control it is to not do anything for days and then do very little.  No motion and no florescent lights.  Eventually the brains calms down.  Then I have to avoid these triggers like the plague.  I have had this for 6 years.  It took three years to realize every symptom is part of a chronic migraine

Did you recover? Did those feelings go away?  I have a diagnosis of vestibular migraine and also feel drunk, in a daze all the time

Could possible be you have Huntington's Disease, is a neurological disorder that is fatal as of now. Long term effects of dizzy spells, difficulty doing any daily activities, trouble with coordination, speech slurry, jerky motions, anxiety, depression, feeling tired and drained of energy a lot, legs feeling heavy like lead at times...and so much more than this at www.hdsa.org
