I have a tremor in my right thumb and it can be kind of annoying. Like when I'm holding a spoon the spoon will shake. Also a lot of the time I accidently turn to different songs on Spotify when my thumb shakes. I mainly use my right hand for stuff.

My pdoc asked me if I had a tremor and I said no. I don't want to be taken off one of my meds or put on something that will cause side effects. My mom noticed it when I was eating oatmeal yesterday with a plastic spoon.

I don't even know if this is a side effect of my geodon or something to be worried about.

Does anyone have any insights?

Is it your texting thumb? Devices and mouses and keyboards are ruining appendages.

I do not have this side effect to Geodon, but I had tremor on Depakote. It was just tremor of my hands in general and not of one thumb.
