Dr. Patrick Tapia answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Withdrawal: Sounds like you may be getting the nuisance of "brain zaps" that are related to antidepressant withdrawal. Some patients describe them as electric current sensations that are felt predominantly on the head. The only good news is that they can subside over the course of a day or so although some cases take longer. A single dose of fluoxetine 10 mg may cure you. Talk to your doctor!
