Caffeine and antidepressants

Does anyone else experience like brain or memory zaps when you drink caffeine after taking your antidepressants? I've tried putting time in between the 2 and it does help some but I still will like forget words or not be able to think of something and it's only when I drink caffeine? But hell, I'm tired, I get enough sleep, but I like caffeine and it helps me in a lot of ways. I'm just concerned. It makes me think it's going to get worse or that I'll have to quit caffiene altogether. I feel like stopping my antidepressants is not an option. I just want to know I'm not alone and what you guys do? I've even experienced this when drinking a can of vanilla coke and they only have 36 mg of caffeine, which is like - nothing. I'm worried that one days I will have permanent memory zaps and that scares me. Am I alone here?
