I am assuming that many of these unpleasant side effects go away after a few weeks-a month but if you are very concerned you can always call your doctor.

they are brain zaps as I call them, you will get them when you go off the meds to. it will stop in about 4 weeks and you will also have a hard time concentraing or speaking forgetting words that kind of thing. but it will go away. And you will start to feel better
