> Thanks for the advice guys. I'm on Effexor 225 mmg everyday. I take it in the morning roughly around the same time. It only varies by like an hour from day to day.

Effexor XR was developed to make it easy to keep a stable blood concentration during a 24 hour cycle. The way you're taking it, you get one big blood peak, and then you fall into the valley of the zaps.
Try 75 mg three times a day. If the zaps stop, you're proven why they happen in the first place. Venlafaxine only has a five hour half-life.
