Brain zaps

I am about 5 months out, and most of the severe withdrawals are gone and now am left with the annoying ones.  I have been noticing that every night when I go to lay down in bed that I get brain zaps.  I will lay down with my eyes closed and every 10 seconds or so, it feels like there is this quick zap that happens.  When it happens, there is actually a flash of white when I am checking out the back of my eyelids.  Anybody else get these and what are they??

They're horrible!

 

Are you taking any supplements, James? For some, including myself, fish oil or krill oil helps to prevent these.

 

When I first had them, I thought I had brain lesions or a tumour. Hoping these end for you. And soon!

I had zaps also. They slowly disappeared around month seven or eight. I am at 14 months off and doing much better. I also had lots of flashing lights when I went to bed.

I picked out

my avatar of Stewey because it looked the way I felt. With time many symptoms have passed and I have resumed life!

Hang in there. It does get better.
