Hi s.c.

Is the shaky/weak jelly leg feeling an anxiety symptom, or a side effect of the medication?

In other words, do you feel the same in terms of your anxiety and symptoms...or it this something new that the meds have brought on, and you are trying to wait out?

Have you spoken to your doctor about upping your dose?

sweetcakes,

Which came first the anxiety and then the shaky legs once you started the medication or did your have shaky legs as a sx of your anxiety?

Also I don't know much about restless leg syndrome but it might not hurt to ask your Dr. about this phenomenon ?

Please let us know what your physician suggests and know we are here for you.

I wish you peace,

Kitt

Just a possibility, anxiety, panic, often cause us to have an adrenalin surge, when the adrenalin burns
off it will leave us weak and shaky.

Okay, it sounds like you have these symptoms as a result of the anxiety then...since they preceeded the start of your Rx.

You have been on for just about enough time for results to start to be noted....

....so I would recommend asking your doctor about the increase, to see if this has a better effect on your anxiety symptoms.

Let us know how it goes.:)

Did you ever find relief with Pristiq? Are you feeling better these days?
