Hey I’ve been treating depression with antidepressants the last 9 months. I was on prozac for 2 months up to 60 mg i couldn’t sleep so my doc switched me to Lexapro and cross tapered for 2 weeks and now I’ve been on Lexapro for 5-6 weeks and all of a sudden I’m getting brain zaps around 5pm I take my Lexapro 20mg at 9pm. I felt really good for a few weeks then got sick and haven’t felt right and all of a sudden brain zaps. And 3 weeks ago I went from 10mg to 20. Feeling depressed anxious thoughts and brain zaps. Any one know anything about it?

How are you feeling? I get the Brain zaps too. I’ve been on lexapro for 3 years and the last two weeks have been getting them forensic
