Brief Answer:
not the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
While it is true that some people can get a bit of a tremor just after they use albuterol or similar medicines for asthma, it does not last more than a few minutes and is not a cause for essential tremor.
Essential tremor (also called benign familial tremor) tends to run in some families, though some people do not have it in their family.
The antidepressants you are on should not cause tremor unless you are on very high doses (check with your doctor or psychiatrist).
TIAs are caused by atherosclerosis and the risks for that are high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and having vascular disease in your family.
Your medications are not responsible for the TIAs.
I wish you the best,
