I've had those too! My head does that sometimes, and it's usually time to get meds adjusted when it's been more than a few days of it. They said my tegretol blood levels were far too low in hospital and the shocks went away when they upped it for a few days. I have the shocks throughout my body frequently, but they are from permanent neck damage. C4 bone on bone, c3 had a membrane last they looked. I won't take pain pills, because they don't work

I was on effexor for 5 years at 500 mg a day. I had to go IP to get of it. They took me off it in less than a week. Horrible feeling. I don't wish it on anyone.

Will do. I can honestly say....I’ve been diagnosed and on meds for six years. Zoloft is the worst one I’ve tapered off of. I had flu like symptoms, electric shocks through my body. My anxiety was through the roof. I had SI even....I’ll keep posting here. I hope you get to feeling better soon

Effexor was the last AD I ever had. My doc dropped me off it cold turkey, but he's a bad example. He diagnosed me bipolar, which was good, but he told me every med he tried me on was "like alcohol. You'll like it" because I'd gone in drunk the time before and was admitted inpatient the same day. He also lost his license for postdating scripts not long after.
I felt so bad coming off all antidepressants because I got the "seratonin flu" and was crashing into depression at the same time. Ugh meds
