> I appreciate your concern and HAVE talked to the doctor about the tremors. Last night was his upper body, trunk, not extremities, and lasted about one minute. The psychiatrist doesn't know what they are, suggests it might be a restless leg syndrome. I'm not sure what to do next.
> He's on several other meds and I don't feel like we have a sense of which is causing what....I'm new to this board so it's very interesting to see the responses to some of the other meds he's on, all of which seem to have pretty complex side effects (lithium, lamictal, strattera, klonopin, in addition to abilify)
> Feeling pretty frustrated....don't know how to help him.....I recollect reading a post on this board that suggested taking benedryl or another prescription antihistamine to combat side effects. Here's the post: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20030125/msgs/137494.html It's just a couple of lines. I don't know if you should do this without your doctor's advice, of course, but wanted to let you know this may be an option. Best wishes for everything working out.
