Thanks for all the replies, it's interesting to read different experiences.
No-one suggested buspar or vistaril. Will make sure they look into it. I felt the doctors were very dismissive of the shaking, and none suggested anything to control it. I had to ask my GP for the beta blockers - I thought they might help because the first time I had the shaking (with the Prozac) I was referred to a neurologist, and he said they might work.
I think it will be a hard call because my anxiety is pretty bad but I don't want to be too sedated as I already take some meds with this side effect. I've been taking lorazepam at night for a while and now have a low dose of Xanax during the day as well.
My pdoc is new to me so not sure how flexible he will be.
Cymbalta was good for me in that it worked on the depression and the anxiety and on the nerve pain I have as well - I just couldn't tolerate the shaking!
Chippermonkey, do you take any meds now?
