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.
A lot of different meds cause a tremor as a side-effect.
I get a tremor with bupropion, too. I also get it with other meds of various types.

Is the side-effect of a tremor a part of TD?
