o.k., I'm 2.5 weeks off Celexa. I had terrible brain zaps the first week and then they went away. I just started Serzone 100mg last night and took the second dose this a.n.
I'm having terrible Brain Zaps that started shortly after the second dose. I thought this was a discontinuation thing, not a start up thing. What gives?

What gives?You may still have Celexa in your system though it seems unlikely. Your transmitters could still be used to it in some regards. But "electric shocks" are not uncommon with serotonergic antidepressants, at least in my experience, especially when I was exercising, they don't have to be discontinuation events, they can also indicate overage as well or just your reaction and side effects.
