[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you been coming off of Celexa or some other SSRI?  These SSRI withdrawals cause what can only be described as brain shivers.  It's like your whole brain sort of cringes and shakes inside your head for like one second.  Some people also call then "brain zaps" or "brain shocks."

Weird - no, but I've been taking SSRI (Zoloft) preemptively for post-partum depression and wonder if I actually need to increase the dosage. But I wouldn't call it a "brain" shiver; really, it's mywhole body (or rather, pieces of my whole body at once). What feels weird to me is that I get the shivers right after I move my body. it's not necessarily too uncomfortable, just cold.[/quote]

Hmm, maybe since you just started on it, your brain is still getting used to it?  IF this is the only physical change you can earmark as having started around the same time as the body shivers, I'd check further into this.  I hope it stops soon, too, once your body gets used to it!  Kudos to you for being responsible for your mental health and trying to be poractive about things!  Good luck![/quote]
