My hands are shaking and it feels like my whole insides are too. This hasnt happened before, I take 1000 depakote, 100-200mg seroquel at bedtime Has this happened to anyone else?
Is it the meds or some sort of mania, i am new to this so i dunno???

I took seroquil and had a horrible tremor. I am off of it and lithium now and no longer have it (thank god, it was ruining my marching band/drumline efforts, you know, "BAND, ATTEND HUT!" everyone else standing still and me and my drum shaking like an earthquake) I am not sure which med caused it. Maybe bothe. I was on depakote for awhile but didnt have a tremor then. just weight gain. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks for the input, i have heard about the lithium shakes. I think it was just me going from I can get it all done for everyone to I'm ****ed at the world mania. I see your home base is Illinois. If you are from the middle part, like me, you've read about the cop/vol fireman killed. He was a gret frriend and mentor to my son. And if my son hurts, I hurt. Today, he left the house at 6am in full dress with that damned black mourning band around his badge to say goodbye to a great guy. He will be in the procession to end all processions in a firetruck after ther services, it is going down the interstate. The guy was a cop and a fireman so you can imagine....whew a funeral yesterday to an old friend a visitation last night and this today. I will be glad for next week to come now. Thanks for listening.

Hi, well if you are in marching band, the camps start soon, hope your meds are leveled so you can have a great time, my son went to Jazz at Bands of America in 7th grade and then to Western. A few years ago, doing farmwork, a log hit him in the face,put a hole into his sinus, gross, and ruined, numbed the right side of his face by his mouth so he had to quit the sax, too bad, I miss hearing the music coming from his room, just rambling...have a good summer.
