Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM

Sudden onset shakiness on chest can occur due to anxiety and bupropion is a good anti-anxiety drug. Abrupt cessation of this drug may cause rebound increase in anxiety, so I would advise you to gradually taper the drug with help of your attending psychiatrist to prevent rebound increase in anxiety and to prevent withdrawal syndrome. If vibrations are still there since last three months then the drug should be replaced with a drug with more potent action.
So visit a Psychiatrist for detailed evaluation.

Thanks
