Nervousness/Tremor -- Anyone have this?

I have been experiencing alot of nervousness and trembling due to my anxiety.  I was curious if anyone else was experiencing this?  It seems to be more in the morning -- than tapers off on the afternoon and evening.  Is this just flat out anxiety -- or a side-effect of an SSRI medication?  Thanks!  Shannon

YES IT IS ANXIETY I HAVE THE SAME THING TRY  WRITING IN A JOURNAL WHEN YOU GET ANXIOUS ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE FEELING WHAT IS MAKING YOU ANXIOUS, ALSO TRY DEEP BREATHING THAT HELPS ALOT, I DONT TAKE ANY MEDICATION FOR ANXIETY I DEAL WITH IT DAY BY DAY.  I SEE SOMEONE TO HELP ME DEAL WITH ANXIETY I RECOMMEND GETTING INTO TREATMENT

I've had anxiety for years, but lately I have noticed shakiness and tremor-like symptoms. I am worried because my mother has late stage chronic progressive MS. Sometimes I can hardly control my gait as I walk. My legs feel stiff and shaky. I've been on Prozac and Effexor for years due to severe depression as well. My husband thinks I'm crazy and I am afraid to tell him of these recent physical developements. Does anyone have a similar experience with the shaking? I do notice that when I am particularly anxious or nervous (ie. oral presentation) I notice the shaking and stiffness more, so I figure that it is probably my anxiety out of control.

I am also experiencing  this and i personally think it is from the SSRI because I was put on meds for Depression, and never in my life experienced anxiety until now and its the exact same, worse in the morning and then tapers off, i dont know the answer but i just wanted to let you know i experience it also. Good Luck
