I've been taking 50 mg of Celexa for about 16 months now. I've been taking 0.50 mg then 0.75 mg Risperdal since September??? I stopped for a while in between. I don't remember when or how long. I've also been taking 150 mg Wellbutrin, less time than the Risperdal, I dunno, several months? Geez, I really should keep track of these things!
Anyways, I'm not sure when it started, but I've been experiencing tremors when doing things that require a steady hand. I used to think it was anxiety, but I'm not sure anymore. The tremors have gotten worse. Now they are noticeable by other people. When I was on the Babble trip, even 10derHeart noticed.
The shakiness gets really annoying. I was making tacos yesterday and I made a mess because I couldn't steadily scoop ingredients into the taco. My hands shake when bring a cup to my mouth. I can't build a tower with wooden blocks because my hands shake too much.
My hands don't shake when I'm resting. I also have no problems with typing or using the mouse.
When I hold my arms out in front of me, my hands and arms shake a bit. It's not a lot, but you can definitely see it. Sometimes my arms would jerk. When I first starting knitting the scarf for Dr. Bob, knitting was difficult because my arms would jerk suddenly. Later the jerking stopped. Sometimes my head jerks a little too. It jerks in a "no-no" fashion.
I don't think I have any other problems besides the ones I mentioned.
Do you think it's serious? Could it be TD caused by my meds?
