In reply to ELECTRIC SHOCK SENSATIONS*** what is occurring, posted by geno on July 6, 2002, at 19:52:14
it is a symptom, or a neuronal response to a lack of serotonin, where serotonin was once in abundance. It is also experienced in Ecstasy (MDMA) users, 2 or 3 days following the use of MDMA, a drug at stimulates the release and depletes serotonin stores. As far a SSRIs are concerned, removing them from the reuptake pump causes a rapid decrease in the amount of serotonin available in the synapse, the result is the sensation. My neurologist describes it as seizure-like activity.
