Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

The first step to figuring this out is to visit a neurologist for a full in-person physical exam. Based on that, they may want to do additional bloodwork or an MRI. If these are negative, it is entirely possible these are somatic symptoms of anxiety. This could be alleviated by increasing your antidepressant dosage. I would also consider decreasing the number of supplements you are taking, as these are unregulated and may contain compounds such as mercury that are neurotoxic.
