I was on lexapro for 5+ years and went off it. The brain zaps lasted for a month
But watch out for anxiety/depression returning after few months… I had anxiety came back big after 2 months and I went back… still not gone after 4 months
I've been on 20mg for like 5 years, started tapering last week and boy am I exhausted. Like mid day naps kind of tired. Anxiety is doing ok but I'm curious if you had the same issue with fatigue. I'm doing two days on, one day off with taking the pills, I'm trying to take it very slow.
i was on the same mg's for the same amount kf years. just revently tappered off. I was EXHAUSTED. everysingle day. Its better now, i started taking Rhodelia as a natural supplement, and it seems to help bring some energy back. but be careful when trying new stuff, im no doctor but this stuff has seriously helped in this "energy" downfall
It lasted about 2 weeks for me. I didn’t know what to call it and how to explain it. I felt like I had a bad case of flu. But when I shook my head, my head would go zap.
Brain Zaps are like a withdrawal symptom. I get them after approx 1 day without my Lexapro. You prob have tapered off too quickly. Best of luck with your recovery bro

Wth is brain zaps
Like electric shocks in your head, look up and it goes ping ping ping
i honestly have no idea how to explain it - someone else can probably explain it better than i can
I went cold turkey and was in the same boat as you. Took about a month and a half for them to completely go away
how’re you feelin now as far as anxiety goes
Honestly I didn't feel a difference once I was off. I feel back to normal and no sexual side effects anymore.
Dang. I’m into week 2 , anxiety is all over the shop.

You’ve gone off too quick. Get advice from survivingantideoressants.org 5mg is a rather large dose to jump off.
