If you only stopped effexor a few weeks ago your brain will not have really completely readjusted, so most likely the brain shivers were just waiting for a reason to come back. Delicate balance its trying to re-establish. Honestly I would stay away from everything for a good few months, at least! Some people have gotten shiver withdrawal things for months, so better to be safe about it. I shouldn't even say that, I'm sure you don't need to be told that now. Sorry.

Even if it is sub-clinical withdrawal made obvious, definitely have it checked out. Probably can get a anti-vertigo drug to make you feel better (with a nice side effect of some mild relaxation properties).

If it stays bad, and isn't relieved by anti-vertigo type drugs and doc rules out all except withdrawal you could talk to them about whether it would be ok to take a dose of effexor just to make it go back to being sub-clinical. I've heard some say that helped them get through withdrawal more gradually.
