Suggest Treatment For Flickering Images Before Eyes While Trying To Sleep
Question: I am having a strange issue. Whenever I close my eyes, like to go to sleep, I get images that start to flick through my head, but the strange part is that it is like they are super jerky and I get a sense of hearing them flicker. It makes my head feel very uncomfortable and makes me start to feel nauseous. I am on medication for seizures and depression - effexor, depakote, and gabapentin.

Thank you your answer.
I meditate every night before going to bed. This is just a very strange feeling and I can't seem to put it into words adequately.
No, it certainly isnt anything like the seizures I experience, which are Grand Mal; of which I have had a drastic increase in over the past few weeks.
Again, thank you for your answer.
