For me it's the feeling that you have a small current travelling up from your neck up across your head. It's sort of tingly. I get them a lot while on anti depressants that are reuptake inhibitors. I must say I find them quite pleasant, but I have heard people say they are really unpleasant in the context of withdrawal. So either we have different ideas about pleasant or they're actually two different things! (Or maybe it's just the intensity that's different- I imagine if it wasn't so mild, i.e. if it actually felt like a shock rather than tingly, it would be quite unpleasant).
