I never noticed any tremor when i started on Wellbutrin, but i did have that side effect when i began taking Effexor, which was about 10 months ago. My psy increased the Effexor very gradually. but as it increased, i began noticing my hands trembling. It wasn't out of control ( i mean, i could hold a pen, drink a cup of coffee, etc), and generally i was able to tolerate it. It disappeared completely within a few weeks. I think overall, you should be confident that the tremor will subside. I work as a social worker with chemically dependent/mentally ill adults (ironically enough), and one of my clients did have a very severe tremor, to where it was even difficult for him to sign his name. However, he was on a plethora of meds, and had suffered this effect for a number of years. I'd say if it really bothers you, and doesn't go away in a few weeks, to contact your psy MD. Good luck!
