Last time I checked there aren’t nerve endings in our brain, so it should be impossible to feel sensations in my brain. However, at random times during my life, like seeing the plot twist in Fight Club for example, I’ve felt feelings in my brain. I just felt it again now while doing some intense introspection, and I just wanted to see if anyone else has this happen?
Brain zaps are the worst thing ever. I had to go off of effexor because I’m bipolar and had my first manic episode while on it. I looked like a crazy person for a while. I mean, I am a crazy person, but you can’t tell that up front lol.
For real. I’m on that stuff and if I am just a few hours late taking it I get the zaps. Slightest head movement and ⚡ zzzZZAP ⚡. Missing a day and I’m unable or unwilling to move.
It’s not head movement I think. I believe it’s eye movement triggered.
Given the predatory nature of our species, it’s gonna be a tough call moving your head without having your eyes snap to various objects around.
Can’t even begin to imagine.
Me too 😟
It’s been great getting off it.
(Different drug but still SSRI)
I still get the zaps when I’m tired.
Took about a month for them to be less noticable.
It was Effexor for me too, I was forced off it cold turkey and had been exhibiting signs of serotonin syndrome. 10 years later I still haven’t found anything that works long term to help keep the zaps away and they get debilitating sometimes.
