I was on Lexapro 25mg for about a year and a half or so and just recently tapered off of it. My bf had warned me about using SSRIs and didn’t realize the hard part about it was getting off of it. I’m currently on my 2nd week of experiencing brain zaps and it hasn’t exactly lessened in severity. I did notice that my brain zaps are circadian in that it’s at its peak during the night for me. It helped for me to stay bedridden as much as possible and minimize movements. I’ve also heard that stress and high caffeine levels make it worse and I notice it in me as well, so I’d probably try to avoid those.
Good luck on your journey and hopefully it gets easier soon.
