Yeah, I had brain zaps during and after tapering off my SSRI a while back. It definitely freaked me out, but they went away after a few months.
FUCK DO YOU MEAN MONTHS
Some can be fucking rough
Coming off cymbalta I couldn't drive for weeks due to the severity of the brain zaps. The zaps lasted nearly 6 months in total.
That was tapering too. At the end I was opening capsules and counting those little fucking balls to keep it manageable so I could still work.
waitwaitwait are yall talking abt the phantom bug feeling i have or the microheadaches (which i dont have) i read abt when i looked brain zaps up
