Body vibrations when falling asleep or waking?

Does anyone take melatonin? I used to take 20 mg./night for cancer prevention. Did that for at least 10 years and had minimal body vibrations. Then a new doc told me to quit. Wondering if there is a relationship.
I’m just getting off Xanax although was only on a very small dosage. I was down to .0625 mg. But even stopping that amt. has been difficult. I refuse to believe these symptoms are anxiety related. I do believe there is a metabolic cause that we have not discovered. I’m curious about blood sugar and as someone else suggested, oxygen levels. I’m working with a PT to more efficiently breath especially on the exhale. In general, during exercise and meditation I feel much better, and conscious breathing is a part of both those activities. Anyone else ?
Thanks for the input. Just read a great article in NYTimes about cognitive therapy for sleep and it mentioned many strategies like going to bed and waking up at the same time every day and the 25-min. rule which I know about but do not follow. I’m going to add these and see if they help.
Cheers to all!

I'm getting off my xanax. I was taking only 1 mg daily. They are .05 which is 1/2 mg tablets and I took one in am and one in pm. For about 6 weeks I have been taking one in am and 1/2 in pm which makes it 3/4mg now. I'm ready to go to just 1/2 daily so I'll break tablet in half and take half in am and other half in pm. Then after doing that for about 6 weeks I'll just go to the half tab. I don't want anything else that screws with my central nervous system.
