Yes, dizzyness, brain zaps or head shifts are typical after skipping a dose. I've had this happen about four times now, due to forgetting or letting my Rx run out. I made it past two doses once and felt like crap, so I won't let that happen again.

Best thing is to get a pillbox, load up the week and set it where you will see it each day. That will remind you, and help you remember whether you took meds that day.
