Hello. Thank you for posting.

A tremor is an unintentional and uncontrollable rhythmic movement of one part or one limb of your body. A tremor can occur in any part of the body and at any time. It’s usually the result of a problem in the part of your brain that controls muscular movement.

Drug-induced tremors are caused by your brain’s response to the chemicals in certain medications. Drug-induced tremors can also occur as the result of withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if the medications you are taking might be causing your tremors. Most are likely to occur within the first hour of taking the medication. If you find that this happens to you, take note of the medications you took before your tremors. I don't know what medications you are on or how long you have been taking them. If your doctor feels it's not the medications then you need to ask him or her what the next step is in finding the cause.
