Let's play a game of "pick your poison"!

No, not the 2016 elections, silly!

Which is worse: brain zaps or akathisia?

I'm getting godawful brain zaps since trying to quit Lexapro. I had akathisia before, but sh#t... these f#cking brain zaps are killing me. I'm dyyyyyying.

In my case, the discomfort these brain zaps bring on far exceed the discomfort brought on by akathisia. So consider this a vote for preferring akathisia.
