Hi Ylanda,

Talk to your Dr about the side effects of the medication you are taking and if you are seeing a psychologist talk to them too in case the internal shakes are from a psychological issus - things can get better - hang in there. MBC

Hi maybe crazy, I saw doctor yesterday and she increased fluxoeitne to 80 mgs and gave me abilify to start on, have never taken this med before and I'm kinda scared because she said it will make me nervous but the valiume and fluxotine should help with thatpart, but my body does not do well with side affects, thanks for the reply and your help,

I hope the new meds work out for you - are you seeing a psychologist? they can help you with the fear issues and also you know that its true about knowledge being power - i got info on the meds i am taking before i started taking them - if you dont feel any better make sure you go back to your doc and tell them - they may then adjust them to help you - i hope you feel better soon - take care MBC
