This is pala
These brain zaps, dizziness will be there for at least 4 to 5 months, but life will be different after that, believe me, again depends upon how long you are on these Ads, I was on all kinds of ADs for 6 years and it took 6 months for me to completely get rid of all the side effects, I still do have little dizziness and fatigue, that may be attributable to some other reasons.
As somebody mentions in this thread, hang in there, one more thing which worsened my symptoms was deep
breathing, people say deep breathing is good but it makes you more dizzy and brain zaps will become more
intenseYou should not do intense exercise during this time this is my experience as the heart rate goes up, you will
fee these symptoms proportionately increases, do mild exercise take vitamins, please no coffee or soda
with caffeine this certainly makes matter worse,Even in my worst brain zaps time, I never missed one day going to my office, but my productivity was low but I was able to function.
One more thing, I was not taking that high dosage
Again tapering and getting rid of it totally is an excellent idea.
Good luck
