Brain Zaps feel like electrical shocks.

When you're experience a brain zap the brain zaps will feel like something is shocking your head and it can be very annoying but it's usually nothing serious.

Even lack of sleep can cause brain Zaps which I've experienced.

Brain zaps are electrical shock sensations in the brain.

They can happen in a person who is decreasing or stopping their use of certain medications, particularly antidepressants.

Brain zaps are not harmful and will not damage the brain.

However, they can be bothersome, disorienting, and disruptive to sleep.

People who don't take psychotropic or sleep medications also experience brain zaps and head zaps.

Chronic stress, which we call stress-response hyperstimulation, is a common denominator for those who experience head and brain zaps.
