Brain zaps are annoying. Akathesia has hospitalized me once and sent me to the ER at least one other time. I'd take brain zaps any day. (Ok, back when I was trying SSRIs 20 years ago I thought brain zaps were sort of interesting....so I don't even hate them. I did not like them when I came off high dose Seroquel fast in the hospital; I don't even remember them but I do remember talking to the dr about them. I think they gave me something to help.)
