I'd recommend your wife talk to her doctor. I mean for me, they were just a freak thing--I've never actually been on any of the kind of medications associated with them. Um, sorry, Brian, not really.

Do you have some recommended sites where I can learn more about this? I just found out that my wife might be suffering from these due to her getting off paxil.

Although I wouldn't exactly be surprised to discover that my brain worked harder when I was asleep than it does when I'm awake.

Although it is a little weird to think you could short circuit your brain. I agree with Kim. Although it is a little weird to think you could short circuit your brain.

So feel free to tell yourself that you are just simply too brilliant for your own brain to keep up with you and leave it at that.

But if my mental deterioration is what it takes to get zapomania into the DSM, I might just be willing to make that sacrifice ;-) Well, I am admittedly a little less freaked out now that I know it’s just some strange unexplained phenomenon and not the precursor to an epileptic fit/stroke/aneurysm or something.

Brain zaps sound seriously uncool. For all their zappitude, the fact it freaked you out is not cool. I hope it was just some sort of philosophy induced one-off (thank you Feyerabend!), but I also secretly hope "zapomania" is an entry in the next DSM. And no Effexor XR for you! Dude.
