Can Long Term Use Of Benadryl Cause Shaking Sensation In Head And Body?

I was told by my old pcychiatrist that Benadryl was a natural & safe way to take for my anxiety. I have been taking Benadryl almost daily like 8-9 months. I feel reading the info below I am possibly addicted to this medication? I have a shaking sensation in my head & my body, it s more noticeable when im still or laying down. Been to a few doctors and they don t know what s wrong with me, Please Help!!
