Tingling from Reglan or Anxiety? Please Help!

Hi everyone:
I would love to have some opinions.  I took Reglan with no problems for about 3 months back in March/April 2009.  I recently had gallbladder surgery and then restarted the Reglan 2 tablets per day (10mg) for 3.5 weeks.  About 11 days after stopping the meds, I noticed a tingling sensation under my left eye.  Immediately, I started freaking out that I might have Tardive Dyskinesia from the Reglan and now I have tingling and some twitching all over my body.  The tingling/vibrating feeling is mostly in my left leg and bottom of my foot.  The twitching is random all over my body.

I must say that for the past year, I have been under an enormous amount of stress and anxiety due to health issues I was having related to my gallbladder.  Now, that is fixed but now I have this new problem.

I have been to the neurgologist and several doctors and they say that it is NOT tardive dyskinesia because that is a movement disorder and I do not have that.  They are telling me it's anxiety.  I just cannot believe that anxiety can create these kinds of feelings.

I go back and forth that it's just anxiety and then thinking that OMG, I have Tardive Dyskinesia caused by Reglan.  I an SO SCARED!  This twitching and tingling/vibrating has been going on for about 7 weeks now and it just seems never ending.  I do notice that the more stressed I get about it the worse it gets.

Does anyone have any advice for me.  Is this going to go away? I'm not seeing a therapist two days per week to help me deal with this.

Has anyone here ever taken Reglan and noticed similiar symptoms and if so, did they go away?  I am so unbelievably scared and anxious over all this and I'm having difficulty sleeping too because I'm so worried.

Thank you!
