Oh yeah, the dreaded brain zaps! to me it is electrical pulses that occur for no reason or if I make sudden movements. They usually occur upon sudden discontinuation of certain medications. for me, if I quit taking my Lexapro (anti depressant) I get them approximately 3-4 days later and are so annoying. My doctor has the official name for it but can't remember however it is a legitimate condition usually due to the discontinuation of certain medications.
