ive been making a tune on logic for the last hour and just realized i didnt notice any zaps at all. maybe the best way to deal with them is to totally distract ur mind from them. of course now that im thinking about them i can feel them again!

They call that brain shivers. It wil go away. Just don't be afraid of them, they aren;t permanent and won't hurt you.

So you have the the wellbutrin itchies and I have the lexapro brain zaps. I'm not sure mine will ever go away. It's been 4 months and no relief. I tapered off lexapro for about 4 weeks. I've read that some folks still get the zaps after several years.
