Lexapro and Lamictal

I take 10 mg of Lexapro and 50 mg of Lamictal every day, for depression and type 2 bipolar disorder.  I have hand tremors.  Is it possible that one or both medications are causing my hands to tremble?

Hyperthyroidism also causes hand tremors, something else you may want to check out.

I do know that Lexapro can cause temporary movement disorders such as dystonia that could cause hand tremors. That could be treated with a side effect pill. It would be worthwhile to speak to your psychiatrist about it.
