> Thanks for your answer.I take my meds at night, between 8-9 pm, and truth be told, I get zaps only at night just about the time of taking my med. I am taking the same dosage of 15 mg for about 6 months now.I also get very vivid dreams, not sure if I'd classify them as nightmares, but ...close. I never heard anyone talking about zaps while ON Celexa. That is so scary for me now...Love, pahole
There have been other people who have reported experiencing the brain zaps continuously while taking SRI drugs like Celexa. I was wondering about the timing because the brain zaps are more often a symptom of withdrawal. If they are occuring before dosing rather than after, perhaps it is time to increase the dose. If not, you can try another SRI drug like Effexor or move to something different like Lyrica, which is currently being investigated for GAD.
