not sure. I wouldn't have thought it was a side effect, but it could be a little like nervous energy rather than anxiety?

is there a bit of paper in the box of tablets? this should list possible side effects. hope you feel better soon xx

that means it could be a side effect. if you still feel concerned, go see your gp again. it might settle after a few more days or weeks, but it might be better for you to change your medication...you nad you r gp can talk discuss it.
how are you feeling today? i've got to log off now but i'll check later

glad you slept well
are you eating properly? sometimes low blood sugar can make you feel a bit shaky. eating brown bread or bananas etc can help stabilise your blood sugar, if you don't eat much they're easy things to get down (hope i don't sound patronising saying this, i'm only saying it cos that's pretty much what i live, and chocolate, on as i never seem to have time for anything else, and if i have too much choc i feel really tired.)

I think I had something like this when I was prescribed citropram (or something!) - it felt to me like a caffeine buzz but constant... It went after 2/3weeks so you should be clear or it soon. I think it is a side effect though, albeit an odd one!
