Wow, you're scaring me jennie.
Is it really that serious?
I'll go back to the normal dose then.

A tremor is not sufficient reason to change any medication dosing. Period. Full stop.
There are many reasons for tremor. Not drinking enough water, for example. Or, drinking enough water, but not ensuring that you have enough potassium and other electrolytes in your blood. Or simply thinking about having a tremor causes tremors.
To test for dehydration, pinch the skin on the back of your hand, to make a little "tent" out of the loose skin. Let go. If it doesn't instantly relax back into place, you are clinically dehydrated. Dehydration causes tremors. That's just one reason for them. Very common, in the summertime heat, ya know?
Do not change your medication dosing without the express instructions from the prescribing physician. The only exception is the case of serious adverse effect(s), i.e. something for which you would seek care in a hospital emergency room. Tremor does not qualify.
