Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Yes, both the salts fluoxetine (Flunil) and amitriptyline (Tryptomer) are known to cause tremors. It shall be advisable for you to discuss the problem with the treating doctor so that the medication can either be changed or the dose reduced so that tremors do not occur.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your daughter an early recovery.
