What are these electric shock feelings in my brain?

[Trav4242]

The last few day's I keep getting these somewhat painful electric shock feeling in my brain and sometimes down my arms. I have asked a few of my Dr's and they just tell me the same shit they always tell me "I don't know what that would be." I was wondering if any of you here have experienced those? I have found some of the same symptoms on the internet and it said it could be caused from anxiety, but you can't believe everything you read.

I have had this happen... doctors tell me same I don’t know... I found that I would loose ability to move on that side for a few seconds when it happened... 1 doctor thought it might be related to the seizures I get when my pain levels are too high but was not positive.

Sorry not helpful but at least u know you are not alone in this if this helps.

They are not fun to get. It seems like I only get them when I start to get tired and lying down. The to high of a pain level makes sense. I haven't had the not moving thing. I do know they suck!

Do you or have you ever taken medication such as antidepressants?

[Trav4242 in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

Yes, I have been taking them for about 4 month. I have read that those can cause this issue, but these brain zaps started after I had neck surgery 2 years ago. Then they just happened every once in a while, now its every few minutes

I think antidepressants can cause brain zaps ?

I think you are right. The more I read about it the more it sounds like what is causing it
