Hi,
I understand how unsettling those “zaps” feel, even with normal scans. They’re often linked to antidepressant use or changes in dose. Please don’t stop or adjust your meds on your own Meanwhile, keep track of when they happen, your sleep, and any missed doses. You’re not alone with the right adjustment, this can improve..
Next Steps
Stay calm, breathe slow, take meds on time, rest well, drink water, avoid caffeine, note when zaps occur, you’re not alone in this.
Health Tips
keep a daily log of symptoms, avoid missing doses, take care of sleep and hydration,
