I've been noticing lately that my hands will often tremble slightly. Like, micro tremble noticeable from a foot away. I don't know what the cause is. I've done too many drugs and probably fucked my nervous system a bit, but most of it wasn't recent.

What do I do about this?

How much is the tremble?

Everyone has a tiny hand tremor, but generally we don't notice it. The eyes also constantly tremor slightly, but our brains photoshop the tremor so we get a steady picture coming in. The vast majority of people will have a tiny microtremor if they hold their hands still a foot away as you describe.

You basically need to see a doctor and ask if what you are having is a normal tremor or if it's bad enough to warrant further tests.

Take some b-12 my man and see if that improves it.

I had a similar thing when I was a teenager. But I was also a twitching beta always nervous to see bullies coming after me.


When I started lifting, learned some relaxation techniques and adopted social mastery it stopped by itself.

Magnesium and some sort of yoga/meditation.

Do you consume caffeine? If so stop completely.

I agree with that entirely. If that doesn't work, and you're going to have to give it some time, then see a doctor as a last resort see if you can get on a low dose of Valium. Something in the neighborhood of 2.5 mg a day. like I said though, time, doctor, last resort, and only if this is noticeable enough to shy away women.

Have you had your blood pressure checked lately?

Yeah, skinnier guys are twitchier. I gained about sixty pounds from my skinniest weight at mature height, and have felt way less twitchy since.

Google "essential tremor." You can take prescription medicine -- or not. I am not sure about any natural cures, which is usually a good first step.

I would definitely recommend seeing a doctor just to rule out Parkinson's, MS, or some other serious affliction. I've seen what happens to people who wait to get shit checked out.

Do you drink a lot? Everyone I know who's a serious alcoholic tends to have shaky hands.

yeah alcohol and caffeine deplete the magnesium in your body, and magnesium is important for the nervous system, so like another guy said, take magnesium and a B-vit complex and see what happens in a month

This is a good resource about essential tremor:

Could be thyroid, try to assess what you have changed in the last weeks/months prior the shaking started. Diet, workout plan, something else?

If no cause can be found, ask for a prescription for a beta blocker, specifically propranolol. That most likely will keep you smooth and twitch free.
