The only time I ever had brain zaps was when I was on Nardil recently, and I didn't even realize what they were until I started to withdraw, and they became more numerous. A little light bulb came on, and I said to myself, "Oh, so that's what brain zaps are." I never experienced them during Effexor withdrawals, even though I did get the flu-like symptoms and tinnitus that are not uncommon withdrawal effects. I was getting the brain zaps on Nardil even at a steady 90 mg/day, this after increasing the dosage over a couple months from a starting point of 45 mg/day. I have no idea what the mechanism is behind them, but it seems hard to believe that your pdoc has never of brain zaps.
