How long were you on it before the tremors started if you don't mind me asking. Thanks for the reply!
Tremors are a rare side effect. In my case, tremor kicked in after a couple of months. Reducing the dose did not solve the problem. Even after I discontinued, tremors persisted for about 1-2 months, in a mild form.
Hopefully you will be spared that.

However, weight gain is very common on it, and may not come via increased appetite but via metabolism problems.
