Head Zaps / Whoosh

What the goddam are these head zap things about ? I'm at the start/middle/end/start/middle point of Effexor withdrawal, and every time I move my head suddenly or move my eyes around, I get this buzzing sensation in, er, well, kind of 'behind' my eyes and I feel like I'm going to fall over, even when lying down - if that's possible. I'm also getting strange sensations on the soles of my feet...kind of a numb/cold feeling.

I've noticed that quite a lot of people have mentioned these head zaps during withdrawal...does it last ? It not particually disabling, just bloody annoying. I'd be curious to know the biological basis for this so that, of course, I can obsessively worry about it.

Hey Joe - it sounds like the SSRI's you've been taking are working well. Selective Sarcasm Reuptake Inhibitors are all the rage in your part of the world, so I hear. :cry:

Thanks everyone. These zaps aren't too bothersome..just a little annoying.
