Brain zaps are a common experience when these kind of medications are discontinued..it is not anxiety, it is a biological phenomenon, your neurons resetting themselves...if you can tolerate it and there are no other withdrawal effects, these should stop within another two weeks.....if other effects, then ask your doctor for a short term trial of klonopin.
Hi. I'm not the doctor or forum expert, just a lay person.
It could be that the jump from 60 mg to 15 mg was too great for you, hence the side-effects (brain zaps).
A seemingly large number of people have written about 'brain zaps' and it has often been associated with discontinuing medication.
The doctor will be able to offer you some more constructive advice.
