I was on an extremely low dose of Lexapro when I stopped (half the usual starting dose, if I recall correctly), and I'd never been on a very high dose, and I still got the zaps. I think some people are more sensitive to this problem than others.
My brother got the zaps just from
taking Paxil (another fast-metabolizing SSRI). But the Muffin Man takes Paxil with no problems.
