Are you taking any meds? Certain antidepressants can cause tremors and restless legs, but that usually happens to both legs, I believe. Could it just be an inability to sit still attributable to anxiety?

When I have too much caffeine, or I'm just really anxious about something, I do the leg shaking thing too. I heard on the news the other day that you actually burn calories by doing that. Now I try to do it all the time (to the annoyance of my co-workers). ;-)

Hey there,
thanks for the positive outlook...it makes me feel less crazy haha. well, I'm already as skinny as a pencil, but i guess it couldn't hurt to burn a few calories every now and again. Thanks again, I appreciate it.

hey,

yeah, I'm on Effexor XR and now Zanax as well. Apparently, I'm going to have to kick up the doseage of effexor to around 300mg. It doesn't seem to be helping my panic attacks very much. It's actually been quite good for my anxiety though. I thought that at first as well, but I'm not really sure, my mind just feels extremely clouded right now. I guess it's probably just the zanax doing it's thing. Anyhew, thanks for responding, I'm sure you're most likely right about it.
