Head zaps/pressure

[Jillianeileen]

Has anyone else suffered "head zaps" or tingling and pressure? It's really bothersome and effects my lifestyle greatly. It mostly happens at night or when I'm trying to relax or I'm anxious. I just need reassurance I guess that this is only anxiety :(  iv had many tests done abc nothing shows up

How long have you been off of Effexor and did your taper? Brain zaps can be a withdrawal symptom of Effexor. That's why I was asking the questions.

I take celexa but have only been on it for 4 dayur s....ive taken it before with no side effects esp for drowsiness....the tremors started before I took it after a bad case of vertigo that stressed me and my body out....maybe this is a side effect of cipralex since you have only been back on it a wk..they say that it can cause side effects until your body adjust to it

Sounds like bad anxiety :( mine can last for weeks as well. I was on cipralex and Wellbutrin for 1 and a half years and then my doc switched me to Effexor for a year which caused more side effects than anything so iv been back on cipralex for about a week, I guess we will see how that goes. I got bad tremors on Effexor, so it could be that you need a different type of medication or if you don't take any I do recommend it, it has helped me a bunch

I have had them for 2 wks now very bothersome and make my anxiety worse....do you take any anxiety meds?

[Jillianeileen]

I used to get those all the time! Sometimes I still do and they can last up to even a couple weeks for me. Anxiety has been ruining my life. I do get them all over my body though, especially in my arms and head and legs
