I have woke up feeling shaky the past couple days. i have had anxiety and am also taking laxatives. what could be the reason?

Not sure: Your experience could simply be due to your anxiety, but you could also be depleting yourself of fluid and/or important electrolytes with the laxative use. Electrolyte replacement drinks, like Gatorade, could be helpful here. There could be other reasons as well, so please discuss your symptoms with your doctor.
