I had the zaps, and the twitching body-wooosh sound in the ears thing was bad but not too bad.
I was tapering down from paxil based on my docs schedule.
Well, after a year or so i decided i was better off back ON paxil, cause it really did help me. Lasted a year or two, then just stopped working.
This time i used my own taper schedule. I tapered SO SLOW and SUCH SMALL STEPS, splitting then in 3/4, then 1/2, then 1/2 OF 1/2, then 1/2 OF a 1/2 every two days. I had no problems at all!!! You just gotta go slow and have patience.
Incidently Im on effexor now. I plan to stay on it for a long time. Until i can get my life and career settled and stableized.
Anyway....Im babling on and on now SORRY!
My original question is::
Do they know what the heck causes the zaps?????
