Hi,

Yes. Prozac can produce in 3 to 13 % of people, so it can be changed. However, other causes too can produce this. Did these tremors come after starting Prozac?

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
