Q: Muscle sheke, tension, and anxiety disorder

asked by: DoctorQuestion on April 3rd, 2008

Hi, my doctor can't figure out what's wrong with me so i'm trying to get some help online. I'm always tired, feeling fatigue and my body feels heavy. When I contract a muscle it starts to shake. I also have muscle-tension. More at certain areas, usually in the middle. Since i started taking zyprexa, muscle-tension and headache have been reduced. It is also easier to for example, go for a walk. Before zyprexa it was often that i would go about 1 km and feel exhausted while being drowned in sweat and getting more intense headache. It is better now. However, it had no effect on tiredness.No matter how much I sleep or what time or day it is I'm always tired. The tiredness started when I was 13 and then it wasn't so bad if i remember correctly but from there it has only gotten worse. I have tried different medication. Iktorivil, Risperdal, Orifil, Sertralin and Cymbalta, but none have helped.
What could this be?

It is likely that your doctor knows what is wrong with you and he probably told you but it sounds like you can’t accept that. According to the therapy and symptoms (muscle shake, tiredness…) you are probably experiencing an anxiety disorder. Probably anxious-depressive disorder.
