Am wondering about tremors. Anyone else get tremors while taking citalopram?

Previously was on Wellbutron for maybe 60-90 days, which is when tremors began. They would happen when lying in bed on my way to sleep. Discontinued Wellbutron roughly 13 months ago & switched to citalopram 40mg. Tremor intensity & frequency has diminished; however, I still get them. Dr thought tremors were connected to Wellbutron; however, I still have them. Neurologist said all's well neurologically.

Suggestions/thoughts? Thnx

My hands got the shakes today at work. Didn't last too long, but it was a bit unnerving. Basically every side effect listed I have experienced at some point during the last 10 days I've been on it.

Talk to your dr. When I told mine about the ticks/tremors, he was really concerned. I thought they were funny/interesting at first. He was not amused. Especially where yours are happening during the day, please talk to your doc.
