In reply to Correct phrase for ''brain zaps''?(electric head?), posted by Janelle on January 15, 2008, at 20:21:55
> I have read on here a phrase for the zaps that one feels in one's head when tapering off a med, especially an anti-depressant. But I cannot recall the correct/specific phrase that has been used for it - I know it's not "brain zaps" but that's the closest thing I could come up with related to what I'm asking about.

Serotonin withdrawal and overdrive. I used to experience it with fairly high dose Luvox when I excercised. Sort of very brief "electric shocks".
