The shaking is probably anxiety, but also could be neurological so ask your psychiatrist to arrange for a neurological consultation while he or she figures out what is wrong.

Hi I have dry eye and eye pain since Ive been on effexor and paxil, Not on effexor anymore but Im on pexeva ( same as paxil) and I went through numerous blood tests to rule out Autoimmune disease and rhemitoid arthritis. Dry eyes could be due to those diseases, However everything was negative. went to 2 eye Doctors and everything is fine. Could paxil/pexeva be doing this to my eyes? anyone know????

im no expert but i know effexor can raise blod pressure. have your blood pressure checked. that can cause alot of eye problems. i have a hard time focusing on things when my pressure is up too high. sincerely, almonds
