> I'm quite sure brain shivers are what people experience while discontinuing some of the antidepressants. I've heard them described that way. do a google search here Dr. Bob's; I'm sure you will find the term.
I would agree with this post. When I had to abruptly quit Zoloft cold turkey, I experienced these 'brain shivers.' For me, they were like electric shocks going through my brain. Almost like little zaps, like little lightning-like tremors.. Very disturbing. I would say that the best way to describe the shivers is literally like an electric zapping going through your brain. Yuck. I will never cold turkey quit meds again.
