while serotonin is inhibitory to emotional brain which produces calming effects and relieve anxiety/depression its also nonselective to that part of brain and it inhibits spinal cord sensations also… (less genital feeling etc)

upon withdrawal you are left in overexcited spinal neurons aswell and you get zaps tingling vertigo
