Question

Iv been on anti depression pills and lately my hands,arms and legs have been shaking whats wrong with me?

Answer 1

Sounds like a bad side effect, call your doctor and inform him. Se what he gives as advice

Answer 2

Definitely consult your doctor. There are many side effects from medication that can cause this.

Answer 3

When I was on them my knee would bounce up and down like some people do when they are nervous. I asked my doctor and he said I should not be doing that. I would talk to your doctor.

Answer 4

Okay,

Thats just probably the side affect of them.

You need to call your therapist and tell him/her and he will probably prescribe you another medication.

Trust me I know what I'm talking about I'm on anti-depression pills also.

Answer 5

thats tremors.  Is a side effect for many medications.  If is slight and just a minor annoyance, i wouldnt worry about it, but do mention it to your dr next time you see them.  If it is a problem, get to your Dr asap and talk to them, they can either switch the med, or give you a med that can help counter that.

One thing i do know is i have a very slight tremor from depakote, however, when i switch to a higher dose, am late taking one so take 2 close together, or have caffene, my tremor is much more severe.  One thing to consider if you have a high caffene intake, just upped the dosage or are inconsistant about when you take them.  

Answer 6

Well check the info that came with your prescription and see if your having a allergic reaction or if it's a normal reaction. When I first went on anti depressants I literally felt like I was going to die. But that's because I took some pills I wasn't supposed to with it.Maby if you took other pills along with it that might be affecting it. In the first week you may experience the listed side affects.Mine would be me constant feelings of nausea, I also started shaking, and I was scared, i also got a warm sensation from my neck down my back.I told my doctor I was feeling sick and he said it was normal. But he didn't really know all the details and I ended up losing 3 pounds that week.So I would say check your prescription and if needed call your doctor and ask if it's normal and if it is how long will you feel like that.Maby you need a smaller dosage.I used to cut mine in half.Well hope I've helped and hope you get better.

Answer 7

First - tell your doctor. Your medication levels and / or combinations may need to be adjusted. Lithium is one drug that can cause shaking hands, etc. There are others, but this should be an easy fix, just tell the doc.
