To put your mind at rest discuss this concern with your GP. However if you feel this problem is a repeat as you came of your medication, leave it for a further week or two and see how it goes

I know in my case I have suffered various side affects coming of medications and I have given a short period of time for the problems to lapse.

One further thing to try is look on the internet, many sites explain problems, you can try these sites for an explanation.

You can also try NHS Information on the internet they have a section that have medications explanations and contrindications

I too had this. My Dr called them brain zaps. He also told me it is withdrawal from coming off some medications too quickly, mine was with another anti depressant that i was having serious side effects with. They are nothing to worry about (although annoying) and go fairly quickly (mine took just under a week). I'd still check with your Dr/Gp though x
