alt Hacker NewsIt's been years since, but I too had brain zaps coming off of it. It took a few months for those to go away.
I tried to describe it to my doctor and he seemed like he never heard of it before and sort of look at me like I was crazy, or at least that is what I sensed. But I ended up researching online and found it was a thing that happens.

Your psychiatrist looked at you like you were crazy?

Interesting is your doctor a general practitioner or a psychiatrist? A psychiatrist definitely knows about this stuff. GPs in my experience know almost nothing about anything beyond what seems like a script they operate from.

These comments about brains zaps is the first time I've heard confirmation from what I've experienced.
I've had them every time I've started or stopped a *pine antidepressant.
Like, something rolls off the counter and my natural reaction would catch it.
Instead, my hand doesn't move, and a brain zap.
Physically painful.
