EABOD25Is there anything that helps zoloft brain shocks?
infinitevalenceare you talking about withdraw symptoms?
PronellWhen I had them (on wellbutrin) they weren’t withdrawal symptoms and could happen at almost any time of day.
It’d present when I’d get up or turn my head. I’d feel/hear a high pitched zing sound and my vision would stutter a little. Very disconcerting, especially when driving, carrying heavy items, or using sharp objects.
Went away when I switched meds.
Yeah Wellbutrin did not play well with my brain chem so I dropped it fast, I take Zoloft daily and have for several years and have minimal side effects so I just want to understand what is meant by “brain shocks”
pezmaker What I recognized as “brain shocks” when I was taking generic escitalipram (Lexapro) would be a feeling sort of like a short circuit in my brain for a quick flash of a moment. Like another commented said, quick movements of my eyes or head would cause it. It was quick, and non lingering, but could happen frequently. Just a little bzzt! In the brain with a little visual stutter. It didn’t hurt but it was disconcerting until I realized it was normal when missing or cutting down doses. Sounds like it can happen for some people on the normal dose but that wasn’t an issue for me.
