Are brain zaps small seizures? Im having a lot!

Posted by jerrympls on September 18, 2004, at 23:12:44

In the past weeks I've noticed an increas in those "brain zaps" you ususally get when you withdrawl from and SSRI/SNRI,etc - but the weird thing is that I haven't changed meds - EXCEPT the addition of Mirapex 0.125mg at night. However, I wouldn't think the addition of Mirapex would cause brain zaps? or maybe it would? But the only time I've experienced the ZAPS are when I've gone off of SSRIs.
I mentioned to my pdoc but he says he's never heard of "brain zaps" nor has he heard that "complaint" from any other patient.
So - I don't know whether to be worried that I'm having small seizures and should see my Family Doc or wait to see if they go away after getting used to the Mirapex? (if the Mirapex is causing them?)
Frustrated and a little worried...any comments/advice/etc. greatly appreciated.
thanks
Jerry
