> Yes, I think it is happening to me. I have been on Klonopin and Neurontin for muscle pain, and also Celexa and Wellbutrin for depression. I am sure the combo of all this stuff is taking its toll on my memory. Short term is shot. I have no lethargy, but I can't get started like I used to.

Hi Annie,I had hand tremor when I was on Wellbutrin. It wasn't a major
tremor, like in earthquake tremor, but naturally
I noticed it. I didn't fret over it though. It never
got real bad. Coffee did not help it along though.
I think the Klonopin is what is doing my short
term memory in and I am contemplating getting off
it fairly soon. I have been on it over a year
and it does help me sleep and keep me a bit calmer,
but I am starting to wonder about my memory which used
to be so good. I hope it is reversible. I don't
know. I liked Wellbutrin. But it made me wake up
every morning at 4am and I could not take it anymore.
Loved the focus it gave me and am now searching
for something which will have similar affects, but
not the early am stuff. Lost weight too!!But alas,
I did not need to, so it was not great. Someday I may
try it again who knows. I have tried the lot of them.
Every SSRI except Luvox, Wellbutrin, Buspar, Knonopin,
Ativan, Trazadone...I am losing count. Sam-e. I am
willing to give that one another shot along with
the other stuff you are supposed to take with it,but
I think I will need a higher dose of Sam-e.Well, now, I have carried on a bit here- apologies.
I wouldn't worry too much about the tremor unless
you really have it bad and you can't stand it (I also
got it with Celexa) the memory thing? Well the search is
on to see if it is reversible. Oddly enough no one has responded
to my query as to if it is or not and if it is associated
only with anti-seizure meds, so I will keep researching and
maybe I will find something.Take care of yourself, Annie.
Best,
paige
