inner shaking/trembling from an SSRI?

(1/4) > >>

eduk8or:
Anyone experience trembling all over or what I call inner shaking from their SSRI?  I started on 20mg of Paxil at the beginning of August, was upped to 30mg at the start of September and have been experiencing this shaking for the last couple weeks.  Is it from my anxiety or is it a side effect of the Paxil?

SASKRS:
HI - I had the tingly shaking in my legs although they weren't visibly shaking. My hands did visibly shake like when I was taking a drink or holding something.... I went from 20 mg paxil back down to 10 mg with dr approval...

Door:
It could be both.  It's hard to tell.  If it doesn't go away in a few days, talk to your doctor.

eduk8or:
I should also mention it gives me something like restless leg syndrome at night, which I never had before.  When I wake up at like 3 or 4am, I can't stop moving my legs.  Also, when I am just sitting, I feel like I have to bounce one of my legs up and down and can't just sit still.  I know I should call my dr, but I'm afraid of having to quit this medication and try a new one.  It was hellish starting this SSRI.

"Inner shaking" is a pretty good way to describe it. 

Not sure if you've ever said, but...had your anxiety gotten better when the shaking started a couple of weeks ago?  When I noticed the trembling, I had started to feel a lot better than when I first started my SSRI.  That's what made me think it was the medicine.
