Brain zaps cure

[cedlong]

After months (possibly years) of experiencing these horrible brain zaps, I recently saw an Occupational Therapist who suggested I cut back on caffeine.

I reduced my coffee intake to two cups a day and the brain zaps have stopped! If you are suffering from these awful symptoms, may I suggest you try a caffeine fast (or at least a major reduction) and see if the brain zaps stop? Please post here if it's worked for you.

That's interesting. I had these when I was coming off paroxetine and did notice that stimulants like caffeine made them worse. I only drink decaf now anyway.

Funny, it's 5 am and I am having the brain zaps/jumps in bed. They terrify me. I missed my meds and now it is screwing me up. Any suggestions besides caffeine?:ohmy:
