Going through medication withdrawal (don’t do SNRIs kids) and have the worst brain zaps.

Any advice?

      It absolutely sucks but try to remember that the zaps are harmless and will go away eventually. And while it could last a few weeks, it could be as little as a few days.

      I also went through this. I also just toughed it out and radically accepted and expected them to happen tbh, and I didn’t taper off either, I just got off them immediately which is inadvisable but I have a thing where i’d rather have big pain fast than small pain slow. I got them multiple times every minute or so for (I think) between 2 and two weeks.
      Be very kind to yourself, give yourself some grace and treat yourself. you’re going through a lot and you deserve to be given TLC while you’re going through it <3 Sending you strength!
