In my own experience, the kind of shaking you describe is not the Parkinsonian tremor, but a form of dyskinesia due to the peak concentration of your medications right after you take them on arising. If you can't reduce your total daily intake (ask your neuro about that) try doses divided in half but taken at shorter time intervals, to reduce the peak effect. Cheers, Joe -- J. R.
