Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

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.

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.
