Question about *Electric Head* ...

Posted by Janelle on October 9, 2001, at 23:03:34

Okay, for the first few days after I completely tapered off EffexorXR, I experienced that *electric head* feeling (which didn't surprise nor alarm me; I almost *expected* it!) ... then it was gone for about 2 1/2 weeks so I figured I was home free. Well, now it has returned (not frequent, but definitely happening a few times during each day).

My question is this - aside from being a withdrawal effect immediately after stopping an SSRI a-d, can the return of *electric head* mean that I'm not getting enough serotonin in the synapses and therefore this is a sign that I should be back on an SSRI a-d.

I'm feeling reeeeeeeal cruddy in general so I'm about to go back on Paxil, but I can't help wondering if the return of *electric head* is some kind of signal that an SSRI a-d is needed?

Thanks for any info, comments, etc.
-Janelle
