I've attempted to quit drinking many times. I am now 18 days alcohol free. I'm experiencing many frustrating side effects but the worst is anxiety and shaking. I thought by now it would lessen. I'm wondering if this is my normal anxiety and that drinking just covered it up. I feel constant anxiety ALL OVER. I work in the health care field and just had my medIcation distribution test where my supervisor watched me do a med pass. My hands shook so bad that I had to keep apologizing and almost didn't finish. My doctor gave me a beta blocker. Is anyone familiar with it helping with anxiety and shaking? I'm so embarrassed with this condition.

I'm afraid to take it. My blood pressure is already low. My heart rate is high though. I sleep alright. But during the day and in the evening I'm anxious and shaky.

I do think a lot but this is worse since I quit drinking. Unless someone has a dual diagnosis of having anxiety and being an alcoholic it's hard to understand.
I've tried reading but I'm so lightheaded. I live in the USA in PA and it's cold and snowing here. No walking, lol.
Maybe I can try a hot bath.
Thank you for responding.
