thepathtorecovery EP04 - My experience with Brain zaps and Seizures (November 2020 update

[@robertj4376]

I get them also! It is just like you showed in video. Could it be RF signals? I get them more often since a smart electric meter was installed about 12' from my bed. I seem to get them at night!

[@benleonheart]

I used to not get them as frequently before the accident, I would just get them at night time and right before falling asleep, I honestly don't think it's RF signals, to me, it seems like a chemical imbalance... especially if you live a stressful life... back then, when I had them at night time; I was dealing with two jobs, my ex fiance, family, and church work... it was hectic but, now that I think of it, I also had a power outlet/coax outlet hybrid around 12' from by bed too... now they happen, randomly, as far away or as close from home, it doesn't matter now, but I know that it's because of the traumatic brain injury I sustained

You could be right. The guy answered your question according to his personal experience, which has nothing to do with yours, it seems. I hope you find a real answer.

We’re your brain zaps caused by medication withdrawal? are they related to your seizures

[@benleonheart]

Honestly, as far as I remember, I've had them before, even before the accident; but they were not during daytime, it was just when I was falling asleep, I'd get those zaps... Now, they seem amplified... I get them more when I forget to take my sertraline (doctor prescribed it to me for depression and anxiety) I don't think the're related to the seizures at all, at least in my case

[@MindyParker]

@@benleonheart well I’m glad they got better for you. We’re you on anti anxiety meds when they first started? Some meds can also cause that as a side effect. I know it’s more common with withdrawal but ive heard meds can also do it

[@benleonheart]

@Mindy Parker no, I had brain zaps before when going to sleep at night... Before my diagnoses/medication Now I get them at random, with medication withdrawal or when i can't "predict" what's going to be the outcome of a situation

[@benleonheart]

Not completely, but they're not as recurrent as before! It's much better now! Been getting enough sleep and not skipping/missing my meds

[@bridarby2299]

@@benleonheart how often do you experience them

[@benleonheart]

@@bridarby2299 no, i started having the zaps before i experienced the 1st seizure... there might be some sort of relation between both. Have you recently stopped taking any medication?
