Talk:Lhermitte's sign

These

These are often called the "zaps" in the context of antidepressant withdrawal literature; someone who has the time/motivation may want to consider looking up some information about this. Glenmullen's research is probably a good starting point.

Incorrect and unclear sentence

I believe this sentence:

Fluoxetine, given its very long half-life, can be given as a single small dose, and often avoid Lhermitte's sign and other withdrawal symptoms.

is simply confusing. Is it saying that Fluoxetine can be given to negate Lhermitte's sign, or is it saying that one can avoid the Lhermitte's sign which Fluoxetine can induce by dosing it differently? The word "avoid" is clearly incorrectly inflected, making the confusion all the more acute. HuskyHuskie (talk) 20:52, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

It's not brain zaps

Well guys, I have a long history of antidepressants use and I perfectly know what SSRI-withdrawal induced brain zaps are. Definitely not what it is described here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.141.189.70 (talk) 09:37, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Relation to SSRI discontinuation symptoms

Adding to the above user's concerns, it does not appear that the electric shock sensations experienced by those discontinuing SSRIs are considered to be related Lhermitte's sign in recent literature. Have not been able to evaluate the reference given as I do not have access at my institution. Reviewing medical literature and correcting as needed may be warranted here.RobertsBiology (talk) 18:31, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Use correct name in title

It is called 'Lhermitte's Phenomenon', even the article explains how calling it a sign is incorrect. Leakedemails (talk) 15:19, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
