What is a "brain shock" from antidepressants?

Question

What is it and what does it feel like? I see the term used all over the internet.

Answer 1

I refer that brain shock from antidepressants would probably be a syndrome called Serotonin syndrome. It occurs in people taking or abusing different antidepressants together or in very higher doses. Most of the antidepressants works by increasing the serotonin levels ,a neurotransmitter in brain cells. The features of serotinin syndrome are rapid onset of altered mental state(e.g loss of consciousness, confusion,drowsiness) ,sweating, rapid heartbeat,nausea,diarrhea, muscular abnormalities like rigidity etc.

Answer 2

I think it's called ms (Multiple Sclerosis) . It makes the person feel unbalanced. It's like electric sensations. They feel weird, but they're not painful.
But you may be talking about deffer. type of Brain Shocks.

Answer 3

when you're very tired you can get a similar thing. it feels a bit like an electrical shock.
