Does Prednisone Cause Hand Tremors?
Question: I am experiencing a lot of hand shaking. Does this go along with taking Prednisone?
Brief Answer:
Possible but probably not
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
While hand shaking is reported as an adverse effect of Prednisone, it is very rare
In this case I would recommend a physical Neurological consult to better understand what kind of hand shake is it, in order to define if the nervous system is altered by the drug, or if there is an underlying condition causing it.
Hope this helps.
Wish you the best health.
