Consult Dr bout the shaking for the best advice. Don't want it to continue or try to Dr yourself.
I appreciate all of your responses. At least I know I'm not the only one.
Does anyone get hand tremors from epilepsy medication?
If any, which ones and how do I handle this problem
yes i do when i start to have a seizure of any kind on my right hand is where it begins
So, this is just weird. Has anyone been shaky just in one hand? My right hand is shaking out of control, while my left hand is steady like a brick.

I experience tremors after a seizure.
I've had epilepsy all my life. About 20 years ago I had temporal lobectomy surgery. The past few years seizures are out of control again and it's started affecting my memory worse.

Thank you 😊 you explain it better than the… read more
