Hello, Sorry you are feeling this way. The shake's sound a lot like anxiety. I have days were I am shaking all day. Propranolol helps calm me down physically. Just curious as to what side effects you have had so far? Really need to start these soon but worried I will be out of it for Christmas / New years. Fluoxetine caused me to have a month work off sick with side effects Hope it works for you ---

Hello Fleue have you been put on Sertraline for anxiety or depression. If it anxiety that is a symptom in itself. I was prescribed sertraline for anxiety and I did get shaky hands and was almost trembling all the time. This is a symptom of anxiety and not just of sertraline, however you do get a little worse before you get better, you have to give it time to kick in. Xx ---
