Brain Zaps

I am getting like electrical sensations in my head, and in my body too sometimes. We are increasing the Ziprasidone (currently 40 mgs twice daily) and decreasing Amisulpride (currently at 250 mgs from 650 mgs).

Is it the Amisulpride or the Ziprasidone causing them?

Is it at the back of your head, around the tip of the spine and the skull??

Yeah, something like that, sometimes I feel it all the way in the legs and the body too.

I’ve heard of brain zaps caused by antidepressants.

Took me a while to remember meaney’s name. Here is some of his standup from yourube

I get it in there (behind my head) - I was under the impression it was related to cholesterol

I remember getting these weird brain zaps when i missed taking my antidepressants for 2 or 3 days.

I get brain zaps when I forget to take zoloft…

I have it to, a lot tbh. I learned to ignore it. Sometimes it disturbes my thoughts or talk👎

I get them when increasing Luvox and decreasing it.

I get a varying electrical sensation in my brain from the AP’s. It is sometimes very strong or not so much, but it’s always there.

The only med it has not happened with is Zyprexa, but can’t take that for other reasons.
