these stupid zaps

debbiedye · 08-24-2005, 10:00 AM

OK,
I'm off the paxil. I have noticed that while I have been tapering that I had the zaps mosstly at night and when tired.

Over the past few weeks, when I was sick and running a fever I noticed the zaps were prominent ( every few seconds and with eye movement) when my fever was low grade, around 98.9- 99-100.

Is this something I should worry about?

The zaps are the first symptoms I get when I'm late taking a dose, even at 2.5mg. They stand out more when we're still, and intensify when tired and/or ill.

Sounds like normal withdrawal to me. They are my first symptoms, but fairly benign compared to other symptoms.

I hope they subside and you get to feeling better in all aspects soon!

The zaps were a part of my symptoms when I changed dosages. Fairly comment and vary in degree and intensity....They will subside.
