I learned about this in my abnormal psych class last summer, but of course now I forget the exact science of it. It had someone to do with mimicking Parkinson’s or something?

Basically the deal is every antidepressant I try gives tremors of some kind (generally in the jaw, like I’m on speed). Does anyone know why this is and why I could be so suseptible to it? Is that just how my body chemistry is?

The strangest thing is, they seem to get worse when I am weaning off the med or on a lower dose of it. I remember explaining this to doctors and psychiatrists and they’d tell me that it was impossible. So frustrating. I was so relieved and enlightened in my abnormal psych class. Must research!
