I too have been noticing these "brain zaps" while taking the meds. I have been taking lexapro for probly about 8 months now and noticed them only when i forgot to take it or ran out before i got a refill, but latly have noticed it happining while i know i have taken it. This is really concerning me to the point I want to call my doctor and she what she says. Any one else having these problems or know the reason it could all the suddon start doing this.

I take Cymbalta and have had the same problem, I forgot to take it for a few days, and got the withdrawal symptoms, took it and was fine, now I get them even when taking it. Makes no sense.
