What drugs are you taking, and at what dosages?

I would say that the shivering could be a simple side effect. However, with all of the other things you describe it is very possibly the manifestation of a toxic serotonin syndrome. It is hard to know without more information.

Have you ever been a substance abuser?

Please don't exploit me.
