Hello out there!
I remember reading here a while back about someone mentioning experiencing "brain shakes" during withdrawl from an AD. I was wondering if someone could describe what that felt like and if you've ever had it switching from one AD to another (say Lexapro to Wellbutrin).
I just went from 10 mg to 5 mg of Lexapro and crossed over to 100mg of Wellbutrin while on 5 mg of Lexapro and am now off Lexapro completely. All week, it has felt like every 30 seconds or so (give or take), someone inside my head is grabbing my brain and jostling it for a second...it makes my face a bit numb and my ears a bit fuzzy and it's only for a second and then it's over....and then about 30 seconds later it happens again. Sometimes just moving my body or my head triggers it and it can be a bit more disorienting then. Does that sounds like the "brain shakes"?
I also have a cold, so I'm not sure if that's contributing to it or not. Just looking for feedback. Will this pass soon as my body adjusts to the Wellbutrin? Should I call the Dr? I have an appointment next Friday.
