You mention "brain shivers" and i think they are what i have talked about as being 'electric shocks' except i have felt them starting in my chest as well as my brain and eminating outwards. It has been 5 days since i last took effexor and for 2 weeks prior to that, i had been tapering off very slowly. This tapering I must say, in hindsight did not help me at all. It allowed me to feel these intense "brain shivers" every night while bringing the dosage down and now, 5 days after stopping totally, i still get them basically all the time. Up to 20 a minute when its at its worst.
I found it promising to read your posting as you too have experienced these strange shivers/shocks as well as a list of other things like myself. Ive had the sweating, the emotional instability, the anxiety, the ..... . Thanks
