I have not had that experience.. Have you talked to your doc about that? Maybe different meds?

I had that side effect when I was taking Paxil, I think. It is embarrassing.

I didn't have it on Remeron and not on Zoloft. Can't remember if I had it on Lexapro or Effexor ...

You mentioned you were going to ask your doc about adjusting your meds ... maybe bring this up, too, and see if there's one you can take that doesn't do that.

I have had small tremors if I drink too much coffee, but if you are shaking that bad I would talk to your doctor. That really should not be happening.
