I've been experiencing constant low level brain zaps and mild tingling in my hands and lips. The tingling has been there for so long that I don't remember when that started or what changed at that time that the tingling might be caused by. Before I took lamictal, I would get brain zaps only when I took my medication late. Now I get them all the time. It's pretty mild and not as bad as when I was Cymbalta which I stopped a couple weeks ago cold turkey. (My pdoc replaced it with Wellbutrin SR. Wellbutrin SR was an epic fail, but that's another story.) I'm currently on 75 mg Wellbutrin (the regular kind, not SR or XL) and 200mg lamictal. I think the constant brain zaps started when I started lamictal a year and 8 months ago. At the time of starting lamictal, I was on 60 mg of Cymbalta and not on Wellbutrin. The brain zaps while on Cymbalta were bad enough to interfere with work. I remember having constant brain zaps really bad on another medication but can't remember which one. I've taken Effexor, Effexor XR, Celexa and Lexapro in the past 7 years.
Does anyone else get these low level brain zaps 24/7? And what about the ringing in the hands and lips. All responses appreciated.
