After the brain zaps and dizziness and anxiety issues, I decided to halve the 75's, and finally quarter them. Now I'm off, although I'm still dealing with smaller brain zaps.
Once I told him about the brain zaps as I was coming down from Zoloft. He acted like he never heard of such a thing. ??

The concern I have is that it's all based on the following assumptions:
1) The psychiatrist will have an adverse reaction.
2) The adverse reaction will be unpleasant.
3) The adverse reaction will be the same or similar to what you experienced.
4) The psychiatrist will show more empathy.
It also seems to be revenge-driven rather than having them do this for the good of the patients.
