Sorry about your grandmother.
Well, I was first on it with Effexor and blamed the Effexor. It stopped when I stopped the Wellbutrin. (but I'd also stopped the Effexor too, and the Effexor had bad withdrawals). The tremors were worse the first time I took it, with the Effexor. I was using the free county mental health system and and they didn't care much about side effects, unless you had issues like fainting or an obvious allergic reaction. They didn't even tell me about the tremor side effects.

I've taken Wellbutrin off & on many years now. I get the tremors but actually less noticeable than when I was in grad school. I want to get back on to Cymbalta if I need an AD (think I do for the holidays) but am not sure pdoc wants to make a switch over the holidays. When I went cold turkey off the Wellbutrin, sure, no more tremors, but I was depressed and wanted back on it. If only these things were easy.
