Hello there - been away from my computer for a few days...
Wanted to say that my head "zaps" come with change of focus too. Though occasionally, for a few minutes at a time, with each heartbeat.
But I'm on my 8th day of no efxr and the zaps are a rarity now. It's when I'm tired mostly.
Have you got the idea of halfing and halfing an so on till you're taking a crumb (ish) a day?
By the way I'm with you about the nhs docs and not telling you stuff. Mine says "well, you know it is a minority reaction" but that shouldn't justify the suffering of the minority.
Anyway I'm sure you'll get through it, just reduce reduce and sleep as much as you can.
And as for me, I'm (trying to) putting off worrying about *anything* else till this is finished. Actually having said that I started Lamictal yesterday but you get my meaning. Good luck,
S
