you'd have muscel spasams before it hit, probably in your toes and facal muscels.
plus other bodily pains

My mom has had seizures for about twenty years now, not from benzo withdrawal though. She says she can feel it when she wakes up in the morning, that something in her head and body is off. She says almost every time she feels that, she has a seizure that day. Right when it happens she says she feel's whats like a lot of electricity in her and then she loses touch with reality while she's seizing. I think it would be hard to tell if one was gonna come on if you hadn't had it before though. Thats why you have to cut down your dose with addictive narcotics. Quiting cold turkey can turn bad with some of them.

Umm i Think you would get a chance to sit down before it went full on. I mean I have had seizures from doing other drugs(not wd's) and I have never fell or anything.
Anyways has anyone seen those siezure dogs. They can sense before you are about to have one and go and get help. Shits crazy.

While they are unpredictable, there are some warning signs. You might suddenly feel confused or have unusual feelings, loose bowel or bladder control(usually happens after the seizure, during the postictal state). Just warn anyone you live with that if you seize, to move everything away from you and to call emergency services.

I cold turkey'd a three year long 3-5mg/day Xanax/Klonopin addiction in a jail cell. I thought for sure I was gonna have a fucking seizure but thank god I didn't.
At my worst when I was really worried and freaking out I had some of these things going on:

My arms and legs would just suddenly jerk or kick, happened every couple of minutes.

I felt these really weird electrical "zaps" or "shocks" in my body too that felt like I was jolted with electricity in an uncomfortable way.
I was also having moderate hallucinations (the floor of my cell was flowing like a river and there were fish in the river) and when I would be sitting up and looking straight at the wall I would have the sensation that I was looking straight down from an extremely tall height and I was about to fall down the chasm. Extremely weird shit. Tons of audial hallucinations too.
I never got to that seizure mark, thankfully. I believe that only occurs amongst the heaviest of benzo users, and you'll know something is deeply wrong long before it happens.
I know benzo w/d is a total bitch and half to go through. Good luck, man. Coming out on that other side is hard and it sucks horribly for a good long time, but after that life can be so much better. It does a 180 on you and it becomes nice again. Peace, man.
-------------------- relax ...but that was many years from now and, i hope from here on out i always seem to want to shout your eyes are like a cup of tea, ascend into the sun with me...
