Yes, it sounds like you have a case of the "zaps". 
I get them if I miss a day of my cymbalta. When they first start, I feel them at the base of my brain/back of my neck. It is just like a jolt of electricity. The longer I wait to get the meds, the more intense they become. Usually after two-three days they start in my neck and travel all the way down my arms/legs and my jaw gets really stiff/tight. My anxiety goes through the roof too. (I know this isn't about me...just sharing my experience)
It does sound like maybe your taper went too fast for your system. Hopefully they won't become more intense, but if they do, I would call your MD and talk with them about it. Hang in there....your system is resetting.
