What should I do if I am experiencing severe brain zaps (electric shock-like sensations in the head) after switching directly from Pexep CR 25mg to Rexipra 10mg for my anxiety?
These electric-shock sensations are temporary and not harmful. They are a common withdrawal response when transitioning directly from Pexep CR (paroxetine) to Rexipra (escitalopram), as your body adjusts to the medication change. Please contact your doctor promptly. They can help ease this transition, perhaps by temporarily adjusting your dosage or suggesting a gradual tapering schedule to make you much more comfortable.
