Tremors with Wellbuterin??

[MrsHowe22]

I've been noticing for the last few weeks that my hands shake a lot and I sometimes feel like I have an internal tremor. It's not constant but it happens a lot. I take wellbuterin. Anyone have the same symptoms?

Hi MrsHowe22: My suggestion is to look up the side effects of wellbuterin and or/ask your pharmacist about the hands shaking. I have not experienced shaking hands when taking Wellbuterin but I can identify with a sense of an "internal tremor." Sometimes I feel a "wave" of anxiety sweep thru my body. Aside from being annoying, it leaves me feeling somewhat aggitated...like I need to get up if I'm in bed and/or move around, otherwise. Wish I could be more helpful

thanks Getting Well. I did look it up and it can cause tremors but I think because my anxiety is so acute now that is a part of it too. This isn't the person I want to be. I'm getting myself so freaked out over nothing. But I see anxiety everywhere I look.

MrsHowe22: Must be we live on the same anxious planet. I begin to get "freaked out" as evening and darkness approaches. I'm trying to do the deep, SLOW breathing..can't seem to keep it slow! I have such dread of the knight. In addition to severe anxiety, I have gastroparesis which means my stomach does not empty properly; hence, nausea at night is common. Seems like with insomnia and being awake at all hours of the night, I feel so lonely, alone and unable to gain reasonable perspective. Wish I had a buddy to talk to at 3 a.m. Seems like the night will never end. I get what I call shakey...haven't thought of it as tremors but guess what I get could qualify. I also get cold chills...feel freezing but cold "sweat" runs down by body. have figured out that if I swrap a soft terry towel around me, that absorbs the cold ssweat and I'm not needing to change night clothes.

By the way, your screen name game be a chuckle. Do you remember an old game called "Clue". It had all sorts of characters with funny names. For a long time I used "Miss Scarlet" as a screen name (or MrGreen as a password) as they came fro that grame that I loved playing. Will have gto remember that for future use.)

Healing Thoughts to you.

Getting Well=too funny. I love Clue. I hate waking up at night cause I know I'm just going to start thinking way too much. I have to say though my counseling is helping. I just wonder why I couldn't think of the things he told me to help myself but I guess sometimes you need to hear it from someone else. I am trying to take things one day at a time.
