Tremors

Does anyone else experience severe tremors from their medication . It's working for me so I don't necessarily want to change it.

Yes. when my Dr. maxed one of my meds (ssri) to address my anxiety, one of the side effects that I couldn't tolerate was the shaking/tremors, esp. when I'v had coffee in the morn. I told my doc that I can't go without coffee. So, she lowered the dose (still higher than before) & told me to try & drink decaf instead. I'm currently adjusting to this and so far, I don't notice the shaking as much as before. Like you, I don't want to switch meds, so we'll see. Best wishes & take care.

Thank you for the advice. I have cut down the caffeine though I haven't really noticed a difference . I see my doctor next week so I'm going to see what he advises.

It's not as severe as that. Just tremors in my hands and my legs feel like jello sometimes.
