Cam, one good pharmacist I know told me that during the discontinuation period, patients' brain wave patterns show changes. I wonder if those changes might not correspond to the brain zaps (wild neural firings, or such?).
As for Tim, I've never watched that show & only know that the actor Tim Allen was in it. My humour tends to the bizarre & really off-the-wall type - American sit-coms just don't fit the bill. Red Dwarf, Black Adder, Titus, & Futurama are great.
Thanks for all the responses & answers.
> IsoM - I have never personally seen someone having long term discontinuation side-effects, but I did read about cases lasting at least 9 months in a journal (Annals oF Pharmacotherapy?) once.

As for the brain zaps, I still don't know what the hell they are, or what causes them.
