Does Stopping Medication For Lyme S Disease Cause Tremors In Arms And Legs?

Hi, a good friend on mine is being treated for Lyme s disease. (6months of treatment so far). Due to excessive vomiting her doctor told her to temporarly stop her medication. She did so 6 days ago, however for the past 5 days she has had parkinson like tremors inher arms and legs. Her doctor has never seen this before and doesn t seem to know the cause... Can anyone help?? This is the list of medication she was taking Doxycycline 2 * 100 mg, azithromicine 2* 250mg, hydroxychloroquine2* 200mg, malarone 2* 250 mg , she was taking sulfamethoxazole but stopped it 2 weeks ago. Last she taks nystatin and hasn t stopped.
