I tapered off of Lexapro several months ago with horrible withdrawal symptoms. Most of the symptoms have gone away except for what I call the brain zaps, which feel like electric shocks through my head when I move my eyes. I took a 5mg valium a couple of days ago to help get some sleep and surprisingly, the next day was the first day in months that I didn't get the ZAPS!!!They were back after about 24 hours. I took another 5mgs and they were gone again!! Has anyone else experienced this? Or can anyone explain why this helps? I'm a scientist, but I can't figure this one out.
