I did not even know that they had happened until the icd was interrogated at my regular (quarterly) visit to the electrocardiologist. I felt nothing. Interesting query about being zapped while standing in a stream. I wonder if it would be the same as getting zapped while bathing/showering. Has this happened to anybody? ______________________________________________________________________ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 - Sorry to hear about your zaps -- I know how unsettling that can be -- hopefully you will not have any more for a long time! Thinking of you and wanted you to know that we are all here if you need a sounding board. ita in OH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 What does a brain zap feel like exactly? I have been on lex for three months and was just curious. THanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 It's hard to explain until you have felt them, its not painful just aggravating. It only happens when you stop taking the med. This was my experience with Lexapro, some people experience with other antidepressants. It freaked me out at first. I ended up doing a search online and realized that it was from withdrawing from the Lexapro..the zaps were still there after a month so now I'm back on the stuff. To describe the feeling, when you move your eyes to the left or right, you just get this odd feeling in your head and makes the head feel a bit numb. I hate it and was shocked to know that so many other people experienced the same thing. Some ppl call them brain zaps, or brain shocks.... acrwi1 <acrwi1@...> wrote: What does a brain zap feel like exactly? I have been on lex for three months and was just curious.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I call them the brain pains and they are absolutley indescribable. What a weird, shocking feeling. I hate them soooooooooooo much that I am certain to take my lex at the same time every day.
