I have recently started taking cymbalta and my head feels tingly, is this a brain zap? Or is it something else? And will it go away or will I feel this until I discontinue it?

a brain zap is like someone stuck you in the back of your head with an electrical prod, at least mine are. Brain zaps are pretty common during withdrawl of a med especially effexor. The tingly feeling is pretty common and it should disapate in a few weeks

take care

A brain zap, which feels as though you're experiencing a brief electic shock in your head, is a common withdrawal symptom of ADs. I suffered terribly from them when I (stupidly) quit taking zoloft cold turkey :blob_fire
