Brain zaps have stopped, WOO HOO for you, that's great. I have found over the years that once they finally stop, the worst of it is over. Now it's time to rest and assess and if you haven't got a psychologist/therapist, GET ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and if you don't feel like you're being heard get another one. I'm not talking about the confronting factor which they may make you face, just as long as they are hearing you properly and you feel comfortable with them. It has taken me years to find a good one.
Your withdrawal process from SSRI's sounds very similar to mine. Loads of people including docs and pdocs didn't believe me when I said the brain zaps were still going for a month afterwards. The second month I was extremely fatigued and suffered from vertigo and ataxia (horrid dizzy spells when standing or walking) and by the third month I would start to feel like myself again.
I really hope you spoke to your doc about the xanax, I'm very lucky in regards to benzo's but xanax was a different story, I still don't know why I'm ok with all other benzos but xanax really messed me up about 15 years ago. Good luck with everything, I hope you're doing better. Peace C
