Anyone have this? It’s really distressing.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar, especially at night or around sleep.

I’ve been having episodes involving a strong “activation” feeling in my body along with rigidity, heat, sweating, intense foot activation, and involuntary foot movement. It tends to happen at night rather than during the day. The episodes are distressing and physically uncomfortable, and I’m trying to understand whether this sounds familiar to anyone else.

I’m not looking for a diagnosis or extreme speculation — I’m more interested in hearing whether other people have experienced a similar pattern, especially involving:
- nighttime onset
- rigidity/tension
- sweating or heat surges
- involuntary foot movement or foot activation
- symptoms clustering around sleep or late evening

I’m also curious whether anyone noticed a relationship between symptoms and medication timing, sleep transitions, stress, exhaustion, or medication half-life effects.

Again, not looking for definitive answers from strangers — just wondering whether this pattern resonates with anyone else.
