Lightbulb I have two basic comments...

1) SSRI antidepressants often cause side effects that people describe as shooting/stabbing brainzap sensations in the brain. This typically happens when you discontinue. But it may happen anytime. Some people have higher serotonin levels to begin with and these drugs raise it too far for comfort.

2) one family of antibiotics cause significant CNS brain side effects== fluroquinolones such as Cipro, Avelox and Levaquin
affect neurological functions in the brain (even seizures) and also in the peripheral nervous system. (can cause neuropathies there).

So I do think you should look at your drugs carefully and discuss with your doctor some changes there.
