I woke up this morning and I can't stop shaking. Feels like I just drank a pot of coffee (which I didn't) but that what it feels like. It's freaking me out a bit I don't like feeling like this not relaxed at all. I've been on the Celexa for over a week I don't know if that's causing this feeling. But before the Celexa I had times like this were I couldn't stop shaking and felt like my insides were shaking. Does this happen to anyone else and is it a symptom of anxiety or something else?

hugs,
Georgia

I think shaking can be sympton of anxiety however it could also be a side effect of the meds. Maybe you should consider contacting your doc to ask. In addition, I am sure others will be by to add thier input.

Hey Georgia, I am taking the same medication about a week now, I know that it does take a few weeks to work, so maybe it is the anxiety. I know that I have had a couple times that I was real jittery where my teeth were chattering and I was shaking too.

Yeah the same thing happened with my teeth chattering because I was so jittery. Are feeling any better Angela? I hope for the both of us the Celexa works to knock out this darn anxiety.

hugs,
Georgia

hi georgia, i hope youre feeling better by now, im like wed, when the emotions are high, i shake horribly. I did in the hospital alot. Def when i thought the cops were after me, i looked like one of those bouncy balls ;) but i do think you should ask the doc, it could be a side effect from a med. I hope it goes away soon, and i hope the celexa helps you soon too. hugs

I've found my emotions when heightened can cause me to shake a bit internally but with the zoloft withdrawal I've had proper shakes/ tremors. It feels awful like you don't have control of your body. If you continue to have them maybe for your piece of mind see your doctor.

Yeah sometimes I feel like a bouncy ball too. I can't calm down and relax I have so much anxious energy. When it's really bad my hands and insides feel shaky and my heart beats fast.I talked with my mom this morning and she said i've always been like that since a kid and had a horrible time focusing and would zoom around a hundred miles an hour.
Maybe I had more anxiety as a child than I thought or maybe I had ADHD. Ummm just thought that was interesting.


hugs,
Georgia

a beta blocker med tablet disolved under the tongur will give fast help

also dont tenes up or fight back as this makes it worse, just accept and breathe deep and slow

Shakiness is definitely a symptom from the anxiety, but with the med you are on, you should talk to your doc "immediately" or As Soon As You Can :) I hope you start feeling better :)

Edit:  By the way this post was intended to reply to Georgia, it is in no way intended to frighten anyone!  Too many people put off seeing their doctors when not feeling well and, I know how important it is to communicate with your docs concerning medications :)  Nothing to fear but constant communication with your physician and therapists is something that should never be taken lightly by anyone :)  I am not a Mental Health Professional and this is why many of us mods and members express the importance of seeking professional advice.  It's even in my signature.

Garen,

Sam is correct that meds can be the cuprit for the shaky feelings and do chek the meds including any interactions between your meds.

I am sorry you feel this way,  I have had this happen to and you feel like your going to just bust wide open to let out all the shaking.

Take care and know we are here for you.

Gentle Hugs

Kitt

Garen i dont believe sam was referring specifically to you when he mentioned medications. he was adressing all those in the thread. dont read more into it than you need to. this will trigger needless health anxiety.

please hang in there and see that you will get through this

p.s i have had tremors, shakes and physical jerks since i was first medicated age 14. it has never gone away. it is a side effect of anxiety for me and in my personal experience i have not let it hold me back or upset me- i recognise that this illness has side effects- as do the meds i take, which greatly increase the shaking- but its not life threatening. its uncomfortable but its bearable.

Thank you Maz, I also go through these symptoms and I am just fine :) It is just anxiety and you are right about worry about needless Health Anxiety. . . It is something we all go through but we do have the tools to help control this :)
