Do any of you get the shakes when around people like a perfect example is tonight at the restaurant. Around people like this when I lift the spoon or coffee cup I have incredible shacks with my naturaly right handedness, and I never experienced this since now that I'm on meds, it seems to happen at restaurant almost habbitually I nervous jittery and the feel is very unpleasent, and too I was have was caffine but the shakes are unreliable on that I don't get them just because of the caffine, well another little perplexity that I'll be living with I'm sure for some time....anyway just curious on others on meds with this problem and I think everyone will answer the positive I'm sure if not maybe we take different meds like I've said before I'm on depakote prozak and respiradal. This is a heavy mix and I really have not noticed to many adverse affects from the meds, but now I feel even better cause I take all my doses at night before I goto bed it has not kept me up at night and in the day I'm not at all drowsy like I have been when I start um in the morning, sucks....so just please give me your answers to this posting so I will feel just a bit more like other's with a similar problem, I hope that all of you are doing as well as I on my meds too, the meds are a life saver, after taking them this long I know, but you have to take them every day.....thanks beautiful mind.

Oh yes I get the shakes, it happens everywhere, but restaurants, as you described are the worst for me. I didn't realize I was that self conscious, but I must be, because not only does the spoon shake, sometimes when I lift the cup to my lips, my neck does this weird freeze-up,I can't describe it any better than that. It makes what should be a natural act, really feel awkward.
Its not entirely from medication for me though, Its also anxiety which has been present as long as I can remember.

I used to have these horrible twitchy habits when I was growing up. Now, I try to keep them hidden, like things I can do inside without any visible twitching.
My body feels lazy, but my mind races. Even when I pause at the keyboard right away my legs start to bounce, and my fingers slide back and forth. There is never a still moment inside my body.
I wish I could direct this over abundance of energy to something productive, like all I have on my list to accomplish before noon tomorrow. Yikes, I better get some sleep.

The first two messages were great, thanks! The nervousness mentioned is also something I've had to deal with a lot through my adolecence and through my adult years dealing with my illnese also has made me self consious and I am that way a little already plus my neck gets a jittery sort of lock up when I am very nervous around a group of people, it is really uncomfortalbe I guess that's the nature of the word. What a run on! Well it is late tomorrow I will be visiting a good friend and am look very forward to that experience, which is very nurturing for me since I've been sick with the help of this friendship I have come to know what a good friend truely is. I hope my nerves go away sometime soon I just don't like feeling like my whole body is going through too many nervous twitches to mention, and my concentration can become somewhat tempered. I guess maybe energy in me wants to get out so the nerves act up so high I don't know the cause or if there is a solution maybe someone knows, if you do just post I'll read, thanks - beautiful mind
