Can anyone tell me what are brain zaps

I amy trying to come off of celexa and i wanted to know what were brain zaps

Hi Michelle,

They are a side effect of going off celexa.  They won't hurt you they're just weird.  They also don't last very long.

Best,

Linda

Hi Michelle

I've just started Cit but having come off Seroxat which is a pain in the ass to get off I have experienced these brain zaps.   They aren't anything major so please don't worry.  It's like a very mild feeling of electric shock or pins and needles in your head, not painful or majorly alarming.  Just keep in your mind that's it's a side effect of coming off.  I coped fine with them and they don't last that long, usually for a couple of days when you drop a dose then they dissapear.  Hope this helps.

It feels like  quick shock in your head. it doesnt hurt its just a little startling
