Brain zaps are unpleasant. They are nothing like the withdrawals from benzos, which can include seizures which can be life-threatening.

You're absolutely right, but there's also a theory that SSRI withdrawal brain zaps may actually be brief, localized mini-seizures.

Yeah, I had brain zaps when I tried to go off Remeron. One thing at a time...
