depression? My hand shakes a lot when I get anxious and it has been shaking like crazy, even though I don't really feel anxious about anything (the pdoc and tdoc think this is why it shakes). Can my symptoms of depression and lack of ambition and fatigue actually be symptoms of anxiety? I can take a klonipin, but don't want to unless I need to.

Thanks for the response. I used some "rescue remedy" yesterday and it helped a ton and took a klonopin before bed and slept much better than I had this week. AF also started so I KNOW that was part of it.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!

Take that Klonopin...I've finally learned that pdocs know what they are talking about.

They told me that too...to take my Ativan when I feel that way...and I did it last week, and lo and behold it helped. I don't like to do it either. But it did help.

I hate it too, Missy.

:(

How are you today? Sorry I haven't been around...got sick, some kind of stomach virus thing...yuck...and of course good old BP and rapid cycling and PMS all rolled into one. Not pretty.

Love you.

I think it was just PMSing, as AF arrived. I am still shaking and debating taking a klonopin but don't want to be knocked out as dh has been complaining about how much I have been sleeping. It has been really bad lately. He will be leaving soon, so I may take it and rest on the couch if I need to, LOL. He has been home more and it is an adjustment for both of us. My appointment is Friday, and I feel pretty good right now so I am just not sure what to say to pdoc. That I have been fine for except like 2 weeks when I was sick and PMSing and I wanted to die, LOL.
