Brief Answer:
Mild discontinuation symptoms can be there

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.

I have read your query and understood that you have been on remeron for long duration and suddenly you have stopped it, so you are experiencing some discontinuation symptoms particularly brain zaps while sex. Am I right for this?

Are you experiencing any other symptoms?

Discontinuing remeron can cause flu like symptoms, anxiety, decreased sleep, fatigue etc. In this situation when you perform any exercise then it will make body and brain even more fatigue, that is why you are experiencing the brain zaps. Don't worry it will subside on its own within a week.

If the symptoms are severe then I here suggest you to reintroduce remeron and if you want to stop it then take advice of your prescribing doctor. Gradual taper would be advisable.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have further query then I shall be happy to help. Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Orgasm causes adrenaline rush

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.

As I have already mentioned in previous answer, on discontinuation of remeron you are having some discontinuation symptoms, so when you had sex and orgasm the body released many hormones which had increased your heart and brain activity which had caused increased demand of energy and oxygen. So when you were struggling with anxiety and fatigue, this extra demand can not be fulfilled immediately and this had caused brain zaps.

Do you exercise regularly? Are you doing any work in which you have enough exertion to cause palpitation and sweating? If the answer is 'no' then how can you say that you have brain zaps during orgasm only? If you are not doing anything that makes you fatigue and makes your heart beat faster then you can not say that it occurs during orgasm only. Orgasm and sex is severe kind of physical exercise which is very good for health.

Hope I have answered your query. If you do nor have any further query then close the discussion and rate the answer.

Wish you good health.
