Does anyone get Effexor "brain zaps" ?


Question:


Answers:
Jack's right. The zaps are horrible but they can be avoided by taking your proper dosage regularly. I always got them after two days without it. Good Luck!

Other Answers:
People on Effexor and Paxil have reported problems like this. Please talk to your doctor about this and perhaps you can have a medication change. You do not have to deal with this.
I was taking Effexor and it helped me tremendously...I had to change medications because of my insurance....Now I am taking generic Prozac and it isn't as good for me yet...I was told to give it time..It has only been a month since the change.....I am not sure what you mean by "brain Zaps"?
I used to take Effexor, and I got the brain zaps when I would miss a dose, and when I weaned myself off of it. Make sure you are taking it consistently.

Love, Jack.
when i was a teen i was on anafranil which causes the shocks in the head. i'm in my thirtees now and have not needed meds in a long time. (yes depression can go away, there is hope). at times i still have shocks. so i don't know if it is permanent.
