Treatment:

Drug-induced tremors go away when you stop taking the medicine thats causing the shaking.

Treatment or changes in medications may not be required at all if the tremors are mild and do not interfere with daily activity.

If the benefit of the medicine is greater than the problems caused by the tremor, different doses or types of medicines may be tried. Different doses or similar medications may not cause the tremor.

In rare cases, a drug such as propranalol (Inderol) or mysoline (Primadone) may be added to try and control the tremor. This may be done in the drug causing the tremor cannot be stopped

Never stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.

Expectations (prognosis):

Drug-induced tremor is not a dangerous condition, but some patients find the tremors annoying and embarrassing.

Severe tremor can interfere with daily activities, especially fine motor skills such as writing, and other activities such as eating or drinking.

Calling your health care provider:

Call your health care provider if you are taking a medication and tremors develop that interfere with activity or are accompanied by other symptoms.
