What does a brain zap feel like? Just curious.

Thanks,

Like sticking your tongue on a charged battery, and holding it thee.

Just what it describes. A kind of zap in the brain - feels almost like a light jolt of electricity that kind feels like a tap on the brain, though very precise like a spark of electricity. When I was taking and going off Ativan, I experienced some.

Just wanted to add that the 'zap' can sometimes last a few seconds and can feel like your brain is contracting. Weird sensation. Think of a prick of electricity touching your arm and feeling the prick and involuntary contracting of your muscle. As I said, it's a weird sensation but you know it when you feel it.

utter hell and I hope you never have to experience them, I'm going through my 3 round, this time with zoloft, I was told zoloft withdrawal wasn't that bad, what a load of crap. Effexor xr was by far the worst and luvox wasn't far behind either but for some reason this seems to be getting worse and it's day 5.
