Alas, the good old zaps, feel very interesting. They were really bad whenI went off of Paxil about 3 years ago, I felt like someone was jolting me with 10,000 volts of electricity. the brain shocks from Effexor felt different, I felt/sounded(if that makes sense) like someone was cracking a whip in my head. I wonder exactly what is happening in the brain when that occurs.
