But I'm getting them alot!

Took 2 weeks to ween off Lexapro 10mg. I expected some brain zaps. Well, I've been off it completely for like a week, and I'm still getting them. When I shift my eyes or move my head. Any idea why?

Also, I just started back on Zoloft a few days ago. Could it be a combo of ending Lexapro and Starting Zoloft?

I've been on SSRIs forever and I don't remember them lasting this long.

Thoughts?

Lexapro gave me brain zaps also. I had never experienced them before going on the medication. I was later moved to Wellbutrin because of the sexual side effects of Lexapro. I can tell you that once I was off Lexapro for a while, the zaps stopped. I would say a few months.
