What Causes Hand Tremors, Nausea And Tinnitus?
Which bipolar meds could cause incessant humming, shaky hands, nausea, ringing in my ear, and now my upper lip is quivering, and weight gain? These symptoms began earlier this year but have steadily increased to an unbearable level. I see the doctor again in a week.
