Put up a side mount pull chain light in the garage and noticed

my hands shaking a lot when doing the work. Is this an AP side effect? Probably. I used to have such steady hands. sigh

You did a good job.

Hands shaking while doing something like that is normal I would think, especially if you don’t do it regularly.

I had the same problem on Abilify when I went to the gym. My hands shake when lifting weights or when doing squats. I think all APs lower dopamine and can cause Parkinson’s symptoms.

Nah shaking hands is not normal. I work in the trades and shaking hands would probably end it for me. Its like parkinsons caused by aps.

This happens to me doing some stuff, I attribute it to not getting enough exercise/exertion. The take away is that it is not inevitable.

Can be related to fitness as you tire.

I had a tremor in both hands on Abilify which then worsened when prescribed Lithium. I now take Rexulti only and have no tremor.

We get older, our hands tremble more as well. Sucks, but there it is.
