Post Feeling shakey!

Argh, I've had an anxiety disorder for the last couple of years (usually bad when I'ma round people) and now I'm starting to get shakey! It's really awful and while not noticable to my friends and stuff, I get really paranoid and it makes my anxiety worse (I get soo tensed up and can hardly breath). Does anyone else get this?? What can I do? :P
Oh, and I'm on no anti-deps or anything. Thanks in advance.

I know how you feel. I have had this anxiety disorder for 18 years. I get shaky too. I think our nervous system is out of whack. I have started taking 5-htp and it seems to help with the anxiety, I am not on any other meds. Some people think that the 5-htp is not safe because they had a bad batch in the 80s of tryptophan and it was strange because they took it of the market and put prozac in its place. I've heard the herb passion flower is good for anxiety and the nervous system with no bad side effects. You might want to try 5-htp it doesn't have the side effects of anti-depressants. I feel somewhat more calmer than before. Just remember your not alone. summer42

the shakes are common from stress and anxiety, try to relax the muscles, as tensing up makes the shakes worse

breathe deep and slow, avoid rapid shallow panting

dont sit or stand still, move around, if standing, move your weight from one foot to the other

Lifting weights (just 10 pounds) and taking beta blockers helps me with the shakiness.
