Hi just wondered if anyone else ever gets sharp little shooting pains in there head or like electric shock pains,i'm on citlopram 40mg not sure if its linked to that.

Head zaps they are called. Harmless and I think loads of us get them

Hello cozza,

Yeh, I get those too, like little jerky electric shocks in my head, especially when I am laying down to sleep at night. I'm on only 10mg of Cipralex as well, and I find this side effect really annoying!:mad:

I'm pretty sure it is the Escitalopram as when I was off the meds earlier this year that disappeared.

Oh i'm so pleased its not just me i thought you only got them when coming off the meds.xx

I get them and I am not on any medication
