Hello ToLate, thanks for posting your comment.
Once anyone has been relying on AD's to help them overcome any mental illness, the AD help us in controlling our mind thinking, behaviour and understanding what may be a trigger and we should avoid these, whereas if you're struggling and aren't taking any AD then we can't avoid these problems, whether it's our mood, how we can cope either with our emotions, sleep etc so as you say 'brain zaps may happen.
This could be because your situation, friends or circumstances have changed and it's a totally different scenario that you're not used to and although psych's say it's a withdrawal and after 7 years have you thought about going back to your doctor and I only say this because we hope you can get back to us.
Geoff.
