Essential tremor is a neurological disorder that causes the hands, head, trunk, voice, or legs to shake rhythmically. It is often confused with Parkinsonâs disease. The cause of essential tremor is unknown, but for most people who have it, the condition seems to run in their family.
It may subside during sleep and get worse when a person is under stress. A person might also experience head nodding or have a shaky sounding voice. Certain types of antidepressants, such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclics, can indeed cause tremor as a side effect. Some studies estimate that 20 percent of patients treated with an SSRI or tricyclic antidepressant will develop a tremor.
