Last week I started taking a low dose of this drug while lowering Effexor. I have been slammed with side effects. Brintellix is supposed to have few side effects so I am hoping it is the lowering of the Effexor that is causing the head zaps, hot flashes, etc. I am new to these drugs so really don't know what to expect. I was only on the Effexor or 2 months. This just seems like a vicious circle. Thank you for any input.

It's the Effexor. It is incredibly difficult to get off of. I still got the brain zaps more than two years after my last dose. Good luck.
I know nothing of Brintellix, sorry I'm not much help with that.

It's the Effexor for sure. That stuff is of the devil.

Thank you. Guess I will have to live with the zaps awhile longer.
