> I think what causes the shaking is the "upper" type drugs I'm on. I take Provigil and Wellbutrin, which I think are the primary causes. I also take Strattera and Lamictal. At night I take a low dose of Klonopin. The Klonopin does help the "upper" side effects, but not enough to make the shaking un-noticeable.
> Man, this is bullsh*t...We're OKAY! What makes anyone so special that they are suited to judge us?It sounds like you are taking too many noradrenergic meds simultaneously. Wellbutrin (releases NA, blocks DA/NA reuptake), Provigil (alpha-1 adrenergic agonist), Strattera (selectively blocks NA reuptake) all have this effect. Honestly I'm suprised a pdoc would put you on all those meds concurrently; they should have a synergistic effect when combined.
