I quit smoking and haven't touched a drink for a couple of weeks, I see these little black flashes out of the corner of my eye and freak.
I almost got into a car accident because I thought I saw a centipede on the driverside window. Is it psychological, or an effect on the eyes?

The bug crawling feeling could be the nerves "waking" up after being numb from alcohol for so long., or so I was told!

Black flashes or can you look at a light wall or the sky and see them all the time? Some people have floaters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floaters The description is good, but the picture isn't . . . mine are outlined in black and have a cell type structure in places. I had trouble in microbiology distinguishing the floaters from some of the organisms at first.
My experience is when people go into withdrawal . . . it's not a single centipede and you can't calm them down very easily. I have only had one patient who told me he saw some black boys wanting to stab him. He would then look at me and the expression on my face and say, "they aren't really there are they?"

wow normally withDrawals start 2-3 days after stop using. Yes seeing things is part of withdrawals. Are u real shaky too? You really need to see a Dr. coming off of alcohol can kill you if you where a heavy drinker. Your dr can prescribe you something to help with the dt's. you can always call alcoholics anonymous they will be glad to help you though this hard time. It saved my life. Good Luck:)

in line with probability its an allergic reaction to a minimum of a few thing on your mattress room. Your cleansing soap? Are you taking any drugs? in line with probability you're allergic to it. I had a similar reaction to Sulfa drugs. And, by making use of how, get some help on the subject of the reducing & burning. Its the thank you to regulate discomfort, by making use of inflicting it on your self. Why not do some thing useful, get help, artwork on the clarification for the discomfort, don't be the guy who inflicts discomfort. in case you may't be surprising to your self, who would be?

It's psychological... Your mind is trying to trick you by any means necessary. The brain works in weird ways when it comes to addiction.

Maybe a warning sign of schizophrenia. Please see some body.
