Shakes

[daffy]

Anyone suffered with long term shakes. I dont mean a little one but where its difficult to read a book cos your hands shake so much or you cant get a cup of tea up to your mouth. Even typing is difficult. When I go to bed I have to put my hands under the pillow to try and stop them shaking. Ive come of the Amisulpride which the psych thought was causing it but im still shaking and its embarrasing.

Ive been to the GP today and he said it was an 'essential tremor' and he could increase my inderol to 160mg (im on 80) but it would really slow me down and make me very drowsy. So im waiting till i see my psych next week to get his opinion

Can these meds do long term damage?. I would hate to think im going to be like this for ever.

I've always had the shakes from being a child and sometimes lithium makes it worse though it hasn't since I changed delivery systems. Have you tried searching for the medication with PIL beside the name and that brings up information about the meds.
