Brain zaps/electric shock sensations are common when withdrawing from an SSRI. A very slow taper can help. Some people use Prozac to transition off of a faster acting SSRI because the longer half life eases the withdrawal process.

If meds change maybe there is withdrawal from the first drug before the new one kicks in-?????

Hello @cluv and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I see that you were interested in connecting with @sadnancy following reading her post so I've used the mention feature that will send her a notification of your interest to connect in this discussion.

Can I ask how long you've been on Zoloft and if you've recently made changes that you are thinking may be causing the electric shock all over your body?
