Maybe: I would continue working with your primary care provider. Many antidepressants can produce so called "extrapyramidal effects" that essential translates to "movements you did not want". You may want to read http://www.Aacp.Com/pdf%2f0810%2f0810acp_madhusoodanan.Pdf.

Anxiety: Rather than relying on medications exclusively to reduce anxiety try psychotherapy with a qualified mental health professional. Also try the anti anxiety app on your phone for daily support and ongoing information. Best.
