Brain Zaps
i’ve heard of the ssri “brain zap” phenomenon that happens when you miss your meds, but i’m not entirely sure if it’s happening to me? i’m really bad at taking my meds because, honestly, i have a disgustingly messy room and i just don’t know where anything is. i just lose them all the time!
after like 1-2 days of missing my meds i get these weird brain things, they don’t really hurt but they make me feel weird, like i’m in a dream or really fucked up/high or something. it doesn’t impede me to the point where i cant go out and do stuff, but it certainly doesn’t make me feel any better.
obviously the solution is to find my meds and take them (the go away a day after i take meds again), but i just have a few other questions. does anyone else experience this, maybe someone who’s better at explaining how it feels? if i ever want to get off my meds will i just have brain zaps forever? is this damaging my brain in a permanent way?
for ref i’m on 15 mg once a day, about to up to 20. i know thats a low dose, but idk, its doing something!
