I know this may not be the answer you were looking for, but I will just say that any abrubt change in the body chemisrty could cause such symptoms.
On a lighter note, it has been my understanding that discontinuation of an SSRI may be difficult for some people. I had no problem stopping Zoloft, but Paxil was difficult to quit.
Perhaps a dose of Elavil at 5mg twice a day or 10mg a day each night for a couple weeks may ease your symptoms, then you can discontinue the Elavil.
Another option would be try to take 5mg Celexa a day for a few weeks, then every other day for a week or two before stopping.
