Yes, I had the symptoms that everyone described for "Brain zaps" while I was taking it too. When my doctor prescribed me Effexor, she specifically, told me to take it right before I go to sleep so I won't feel the effect of it. I followed the instruction, but sometime I took the pill and then stay on the phone and times went by. Next thing I know, it was an hour or two after I took it and I'm still up. I started to feel this brain zaps thing. Of course, I went to sleep right away and understood my doctor's concern. So, my suggestion would be to take it before you go to bed. I'm not sure if it's possible for you since you mentioned taking it more than once a day. I was only taking it once a day. Anyway, I hope this helps you somehow. Take care.
