Anyone experience brain zaps? I always get them when coming off an antidepressant. When I move my eyes side to side it feels like the inside Of my eye balls are shivering if that makes sense. Super uncomfortable…what can I do to make myself more comfortable?
I haven't had this myself, but from what I've heard it's fairly common. the only advice I've really heard is just to not move your eyes like that though, which I imagine doesn't feel super helpful lol
I suppose I never tried a bunch of them for a long time though, it was always pretty easy to tell if one didn't agree with me (serotonin syndrome) so once I found one I could stay on I never tried any others
Yes! I could not figure out how to describe them. To me it feels like someone is shoving my head forcefully in one direction and there’s a Whoosh sound in my ear
I get brain zaps, but it usually happens before a seizure (non epileptic) so I don't know if that really helps. All I know is brain zaps suck and when I try to explain the feeling no one else around me understands. All they know is when I feel jolty is time to get me to a safe place 😂
I got them when I came off Lexapro. It also made me feel like....a ghost kind of. Like I wasn't a full person, but sort of transparent and not completely physically here. It was a very strange and uncomfortable sensation. Thankfully the withdrawal symptoms were gone within 2-3 weeks, but I just had to endure them until then.
