Getting off a medication can cause this if you stopped abruptly, usually you have to decrease the dose like 1/2 tablet for a week, then 1/4 tab following week, this happens with antidepressants like Paxil, Xanax etc

Also taking calcium, folic acid and omega 3 tablets helps a lot. If you get 'brain shivers' when you turn your head you can ease this by picking a spot on the wall, turn your head to look away from it, then turn it back fast and try focus on the point. Practise this and you should notice they become much less intense. Exercise is always a good thing to do when coming off antidepressants too..

How long to brain shivers last when coming off Effexor?

Brain shivers, often described as "brain zaps," can occur when discontinuing Effexor (venlafaxine) and may last from a few days to several weeks, depending on individual factors such as dosage, duration of use, and how quickly the medication is tapered off. Gradually reducing the dose under medical supervision can help minimize these symptoms. If brain shivers persist or are particularly bothersome, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
