What Causes Tremors On The Index Finger After Taking Trazodone?

I have administered trazadone for the last 25 yrs for vivid dreams after being dx with depression at that time, I no longer have the dreams, more recently I have noticed an occasional tremor of my index finger and when using my index finger for pin pointing or sorting it feels tremorous. I also have administered sertraline also for25 yrs.

Hi,

The tremors are in relation with side effect of consuming Trazodone on long-term basis through its actions on certain nerve endings and chemical receptors. You should report the same to your doctor's office for further medication adjustments.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
