What kinds of medicines have you used in the nebulizer
I have altbuterol sulfate for my nebulizer. The problem is when I use it consistently I begin to have bad side effects. I get very shaky, can't stay asleep, headaches and generally fatigue. What has been found helpful for others. I do take a daily inhaler of Asmanex twice per day.

Yes, albuterol is known to make some patients feel shaky, nervous, unable to sleep. I hope that you can find a good replacement, especially for the evenings.
Cant tolerate albuterol so I use levelalbuterol which is generic xopenex. Its is some what better not causing the shakes than albuterol I think.

I have had Amikacin and 7% hypertonic saline in a regular nebulizer. I also had Arikayce (the new liposomal Amikacin) using a nebulizer designed just for that medicine.
