24M Alright, So I have un-diagnosed Head tremor issues (Some doctors say it's Dystonic Tremor some say Functional Tremor some say It's Somatic symptoms).

A little bit about my tremor.

-So I have very minor body jerks they get bad with I am anxious or center of attention.
-When I sit straight my head is prone to shaking with pressure/pain on back of neck but does not shake when i am calm (even when im calm I move my head slowly to right and left and head shakes so badly in no-no pattern). This gets really bad in social situations or anxious.

-Lips trembling and pressure when smiling (very bad in social or nervous situations).

Issues:

First let me tell you I am a confident man. But As told my tremor is not always there but there is always a tendency of tremor in my head (just depends on situation or head position).

- To people that I think have better personality then me (Like good looking, talented, live in better city e.g). I am more prone to shaking meeting those people Since I think what if they notice my tremors and they will think I am anxious or idk something so this makes me more prone to tremors and guess what it happens since I think they are okay neurologically and I have this issue in brain so I am lesser then them when it comes to health part but either way i am confident about my own looks and personality/height etc.

- Also if some how someone noticed my head tremors (Now I know that they know I have this embarrassing issue). I fear meeting/contacting that person again or if i go meet them my heart beat goes really fast and my head tremor comes really bad.

- Also talking to a girl online on Discord that I know likes me I start shaking but This shaking only start for like the start of talking then I get good later once I calm down. (this happens only when I know she likes me and gives me too much attention or i think she has very good personality or is very pretty or idk man).

- Also there was an uncle who used to admire me like my personality is good and stuff I never had any contact with him but I had to buy something from his shop once knowing that he admires me I kinda become the center of attention in my own head. So I went to his shop and oh man oh I was trembling my head full body trembling was very bad it was very noticeable.

- Also I wanna go to a different city for a job since I currently have remote job but I have friends from that city they wanna meet me I always avoid meeting them cuz of this issue (What if they notice my symptoms??). Also that girl never seen me irl so when if she notices my head shaking on Discord video call with friends?? This scares me a lot and same loop starts.

Is this like a normal embarrassment response of head tremors or is it like a mental illness?

(I think I might have a movement disorder that reacts very bad to whatever this is a normal response of embarrassment of mental illness)

Hello, 24M I cold turkey stopped Psychiatric medication in 2018 after a week of use. Meds were - Zedan (Antipsychotic), Flux (SSRI), ALP (Benzo).

Since then i had body jerk issues but they were minor.

Now I have head shaking issues like i am okay most of the time but in certain positions like sitting straight my head shakes like in no-no positions and sometimes in yes yes positions All this gets really bad when anxious or with friends and I have most of time pressure and pain in back of neck and shoulders .

Also my lips shake so much when smiling and there is so much pressure on lips too. I can't even go to gatherings or at restaurant with friends since this issue gets really bad with anxiety.

Also a weird symptoms I have like severe pressure on my forehead almost always this started like a month ago. Also my right eye been twitching badly since a month ago.

I went to neurologist he had done MRI (Contrast), tests and said everything is structurally normal and said it's related to functional symptoms. And prescribed me an SSRI (Paroxetine). I am really scared of starting an SSRI and i don't think that it's the right treatment since I don't even have depression. (I think SSRI can make all these more worse).

Also I had an online consultation with a movement disorder specialist and she said its all like somatic and psychosomatic coming from thoughts and functional stuff. (Which i don't believe is entirely true)

What do you think about SSRI's being used for my symptoms (Functional neurological disorder)?

Thank you for reading.

I went to neurologist he had done MRI (Contrast), tests and said everything is structurally normal and said it's related to functional symptoms.
And I asked could this be Dystonic Tremor? He said no my tremor is not rhythmic And prescribed me an SSRI (Paroxetine). I am really scared of starting an SSRI and i don't think that it's the right treatment since I don't even have depression. (I think SSRI can make all these more worse).

Do you have any experience like this?

What do you think is this Functional Neurological Disorder or a movement disorder?

I really need clarifications on my Diagnosis. Thank you for reading.
