Brain zaps?

BRAIN ZAPS yes, no one talks about them but its a common side effect of withdrawals! For me it feels like vertigo too.

@lonelypotato13 it's driving me insane
@ReaBrooks15 yep its super annoying and theressss not really anything you can do about it. Would recommend coming off your meds slowly next time. I get them if i forget to take even 1 pill too
Is that what that compressed feeling is? It's brain zaps?
Oh goddd I hated getting off effexor. I would highly recommend taking your time weaning yourself off of it if you're able.. please be careful. I called them brain zaps, but yes I experienced that as well as the splitting headache when i tried stopping cold turkey. Did you run out of meds? How long have you been experiencing withdrawals?
@catbus I was ripped off them cold turkey because I was very mean on them and about a week or two I do believe I don't remember
