Brief Answer:
You should be concerned. It comes from essential tremor.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

This shaking when waking up comes from essential tremor and is a progression of diseases.
You should be concerned.
The drugs you are using are right.
You can also use Topamax and Neurontin.
Also blood tests may be needed to control blood sugar and also anxiety and sleep disorders may contribute to shaking.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks that helps I also have trigeminal neuralgia on the right side It was just the upper two branches but now occasional hits the jaw It has flared for the last 6 weeks daily which is unusual for me it causes my eye to droop and I get numbness and pain I've also noticed my vision can become very blurred in that eye at times The condition hasn't really been explained and I was wondering if as its also the same side as the tremor could they be related?

Brief Answer:
Maybe an MRI is needed.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I don't think the essential tremor and trigeminal neuralgia are related.
One possibility is that both may have been caused by brain conditions such as multiple sclerosis.
You can do an MRI and maybe a neurological consultation.
