I don't mind you asking, no one knows me on here or where I live so its ok. If I can help others through your work then that is fantastic as some good will have come from this mess I am in at moment,lol!
Sertranline is the anti-depressant and is known to have many side effects, it is going down in slow and small stages.
.
The anti shakes medication is Propranolol, that is corrrect UK spelling. It works as have been on it before. I will have 10mg 3 times daily but can go up to it 6 times daily if needed.
And God will I need 6 times daily as my whole body just had 10 mins of massive shakes!
.
I will have further scan type examination too as being sent to see a neurologist, however if stopping anti-depressant works it might not be needed. I will neeed a sedative for scan as shaking which is great as VERY claustraphobic!

yes, i've heard of propanolol being used for that before. Just be careful, as it can cause low blood pressure. get up slowly.
I hate that side effects can make necessary medications so difficult for people.
Best of luck in this transition, SS.
