A "zap" is hard to explain until you have one, but it's like a quick electrical jolt in your head, literally. Sometimes there is a bright flash of light with it. It isn't painful, that I've noticed, but it is annoying. It often happens if you suddenly move your eyes from one point to another. I have done research on it on the net, and I haven't found any good explanation for what causes it. I haven't had any major ones yet during my taper, but I had them a lot when I quit cold turkey two years ago. I am dropping down to 0 mg on Thursday, so we'll see if they come with it. The brain obviously reacts to the cessation of Zoloft.
