Help! Trembling, shaking, buzzing.....

My worst symptom by far throughout my struggle with anxiety has been an inner trembling, kind of buzzing feeling. I've mostly gotten all my other symptoms under control, but this one seems to be getting worse instead of better. It's mostly in my chest and stomach, but lately it's been spreading to my legs and arms. The feeling is almost CONSTANT. It's making it hard to sleep.

When I'm doing stuff I don't notice it as much, but when I'm trying to rest or sleep it's horrible. It's like slow torture and I just want it to go away. I've also noticed that when I'm sleeping, I do that thing where your leg kicks yourself awake a lot more now then I ever have before. And it's not always my leg, sometimes it's my arm or hand or head or chest.

I'm hoping this isn't something more like Lyme disease or MS, I just want the shaking to stop.

Did you find a solution?  I treated mine with milk thistle.

I am taking meds, I've been on Fluoxetine since February and we recently upped the dose from 20mg to 40mg, so hopefully that will help. It's just frustrating that everything else has gone away except this shaking, and it's all the time.

I'm suffer from anxiety/depression as well and I also get the trembling and shaking. When I'm anxious I have it in my arms and legs. It almost feels like the chills. Are you taking any meds? If so, for how long? Maybe they haven't worked to their fullest yet. I just started back up on my meds last night and I'm hoping they don't take long to kick in
