>Well, that's interesting. Depakote causes tremor in many folks on its own. Wellbutrin can cause it too. I found the "jiggling" eyes was primarily a Wellbutrin side effect (at higher doses esp.). I didn't really notice it until I was sitting reading with a little eye fatigue. It was a little like trying to read something and eating potato chips at the same time (the image would shake). When I was taking Dexedrine with Depakote I would get this foot "purring" effect. I guess the nerve impulses going to the muscles in my foot would cause them (the muscles) to vibrate real rapidly-it was almost like there was a cell phone vibrate alarm going off in my foot!
