You probably aren't experiencing them as you are not discontinuing like I am. Brain zaps get the same medical name as pins and needles but it is like... an electric shock inside your skull or when it is at its worse it's kind of as if two giant robots are whacking each other with Tesla Coils in there. It's a side-effect of discontinuing quite a few psychiatric drugs. To do with serotonin. For further info, just look brain zaps along with this medication name or even simply anti-depressants through Google.

Nope, no other anti-depressants or the like. I do have a beta-blocker and a benzo though. Propranolol is the beta-blocked, highest recommended dose for anxiety, I think around 180mg and slow release through the day. Just diazepam/valium for the benzo and only 14mg. I've a handful for gastrointestinal issues. And that's it.

I'd prefer not to go onto any other SSRI or SNRI to deal with these icky zaps. I may try the anti-histamine route as I may have some in the house. Uh, but yeah, *puts brain into order* going entirely anti-depressant free. I'm no longer accepting them. They help others but have never helped me, which is why I switched so many times.

I was doing okay with eating noodles but tried that today and it was... urp. I am on my period currently though; sometimes I can feel quite ill at this time anyway, something I should have remembered. Maybe after it's run its course I'll have better luck.
