anxiety and weakness

[justwondering12]

Wondering if anybody ever has weakness and almost like a shakiness in their legs when they are standing. Have anxiety and wonder if this is all a part of it bc I do have dizziness also. had bloodwork done and everything came back ok. started taking vitamins to see if that helps.

yes i have had issues for the past 6 yrs with anxiety. these are just different symptoms than before. i was on Effexor which helped and i stopped bc we got pregers and had a baby and exactly 2 mths after she was born is when all this stuff started happening (around Nov '07). these new symptoms just have made things a lot more complicated. Neurologist thinks i have migraines, but honestly i think i am doing a lot of this to myself.

Anxiety can cause all sorts of 'symptoms' from being weak in the knees to dizziness.  You did the right thing by going to talk to your doctor; now it is time to believe him/her.  Have you had anxiety issues in the past?  It can definitely be confusing and scary the first time someone goes through this, but confronting it head on is your best bet in my experience.  Have you talked about this with a therapist? Learning about it gives you the knowledge to attain real long term relief from this....keep us posted!
