So my pdoc put me back on Cipralex which makes me happy but it gives me brain zaps while on it. This time they are worse than ever. I’m not withdrawing, I haven’t missed a dose and they are so bad I have to lay down and not move my eyes. I was supposed to see pdoc Friday but he got called out on an emergency so now I don’t see him until this Friday. I don’t know what to do but I can’t function like this. Does anyone else get zaps not from withdrawals?

I get "zaps", but they're more like painful stings (mental pain), but it is from withdrawal from a substance I abused. That's the theory anyway. it couldn't possibly be any of my psych meds */sarcasm*

I get brain zaps sometimes just from stress and overthinking, it will literally feel like a lightning bolt going through my head. It's a really unpleasant experience... doesn't sound like it's a good sign that your meds are causing that.
