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.

Hi Martin,

I'm on Effexor and get the zaps if miss just one dose, i once missed 4 doses and the head zaps became body zaps everytime i moved my head or eyes....oh yeah and i threw up violently....not very pleasant at all. From what I gather go very very slow with your Effexor taper.
