Hi.

I had gone through your query.

Tremor can result of drug side effect but it is difficult to say which drug as you have been taken many medicines.

Tremor is most common side effect of depakote.Need to evaluate in details.
It can be reduced with medicines like propranalol and anti cholinergic.

Propranalol 10 to 40 mg is advisable to treat tremor which is arises from depakote.

Need to consult your psychiatrist before taking any medicines.
Serum valporate level also can guide you to measure toxic concentrations.

consult psychiatrist and get help.
Glad to help you further.

Thank you.
