I am five days into discontinuing zoloft (sertraline). i am experiencing what some call "brain zaps". are there any remedies besides taking zoloft (sertraline) again?

Not really: You may need a more gradual dose reduction of zoloft (sertraline). Hoping you're working with your physician on the process.
