Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It is confirmed the the brain zaps are due to the selexa, you have stopped it now. welbutrin alone may be sufficient, if your doctor feels it is not sufficient , he can prescribe some other medicine from the thousands of other drugs.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have good health resistance against the infections.
Practice yoga, meditation, reading books, and hearing music as diversion procedures.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
