I've posted on here a week or so ago! But i am on week 5 of celexa. Started at 10mg then 15mg now on 20mg for 4 days so far. I'm feeling better mentally but i've developed a new side effect i think? It's like this internal shaking feeling. It's almost like i had too much caffeine or an energy drink or something. But i havent. I wake up with it and it slowly goes away during the day and then comes back at night. Anyone had this feeling?

    I wake up feeling that way some mornings. The feeling wears off fairly quickly. It is unsettling though.

    Yes I had that ...... an inner shake.  Had it also when I came off the medication too.  Good description ..... like having had to much caffeine!
