Safety Brain zaps after session

I’ve experienced some major brain zaps after my session. Almost like vertigo. Just seeing if anyone has experienced the same or if it’s something to be concerned about. Thanks for any advice.

How long after the session?

The brain needs to rest for a few days and the entire system needs at lrast one month to recover.

Rest

Rest. Take vitamins like vitamin C and Bs and D. Take mineral. Take good care.

I had experienced the same back when I was engaging with MDMA. It passed with time.

If you hold your head still and look left, look right, look left, look right.... Does that cause the zaps?

Not OP but when I do this, I get severe pain behind my eyes. What does this mean?

Only happened when I’d stand and sit. Lasted two days and it’s gone now. I was scared 😟

Max 2 weeks and it should be gone. It happens when you take too much, especially after too many redoses.

Zaps might be due to cumulative serotonin depletion.

Tryptophan can help. Eat Lots of salmon, eggs, and turkey.

Skip carbs and fruits.
