Hi smudgeP, I don't take the drugs but have the tremors . I can no longer write or eat with my right hand and am also getting them worse in my left hand, so I don't think it is the drugs doing it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Smudge P, I like Collywobbles64 have had a tremor in my right hand long before I started taking AA, I was told by my doctor it was something called essential tremor and quite common in older people. Though I would advise mentioning it to your doctor.

I never had hand tremors. The only problem I had was stomach issues. I was feeling very sick. I have been changed to Risedronate but still feeling sick so I’m about to change onto injections. Apparently because they bypass your stomach I shouldn’t have the problem with sickness. You should go speak to your doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing. Good luck x

Hi SmudgeP - I'm not on that med but I do have shakes/tremors and find it very difficult to eat, carry drinks, and write. No idea what has caused it. Good luck.
