I don't know it it's a brain zap...I've had the zaps through my body but that was just a few times in the beginning. I'm now feeling the mental/emotional side effects but I'm determined not to go back on. I should add that I take Wellbutrin 150 XL once a day.

Yes, exactly. It drives me crazy. It just comes out of no where for me and then I get nervous and start to panic thinking that I am going to pass out or something.Does is happen everyday to you or do you notice anything in particular that sets it off?
