[Be...] Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Hi everyone... I'm some 5 years post taper and in a season of weird symptoms again. Basically, I have brain zaps without the lightening bolts. I would describe it as a zap of dizziness and the its gone.. I do struggle with general dizziness and chronic middle ear issues sop not sure if related but... I'm taking some Protonix occasionally and wonder if that's a trigger for anyone else? I feel like the dizziness comes partly from a stiff neck which seems to be my achilleas heel lately. I do partake in an occasional diet coke...so maybe caffeine related? Any thoughts or similar issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[An...] Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Have you consulted with an ENT and your Primary Care doc about other possible physical causes? 5 years is a long time off benzos. Were you doing ok before these current SXs manifested? I have taken PPIs myself and never got brain zaps or dizziness from taking them personally. I have been on several SSRIs and those did cause me brain zaps when I was coming off them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
