A member asked:
Can ssri discontinuation syndrome cause seizures ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Discontinuation of some drugs can cause seizures, notably the clonazepam you are taking. But stopping SSRI's will not cause seizures-- although the withdrawal, can cause a sense of electric shocks in the head. They are uncomfortable, but harmless.
