Suddenly it all makes sense sort of

I take a number of drugs to keep me relatively sane, two of them are Clonazepam and Celexa.

Both have a number of side effects too numerous to list.  Stay with me here I have a point it's just going to take time to get to it.  Turns out side effects of BOTH these drugs is shaking and one includes instability.  That one  explains why I'm constantly tripping over my own feet and convinced I'm going to take a header down Dr. Sanity's front steps, all 19 of them.

Now on to the point.  Friends and Dr. Sanity are constantly asking about my shaking some days it's a mere quiver others I shake so badly I can't put on my mascara.  Today I finally had the good sense to look up the side effects of both drugs - hey it only took me 3 years.

So that explains why I shake now just to find out why I shake some days and not others.

If I had to guess, I'd say look to hydration as the key to "why more some days than others." When your blood-volume decreases, the concentration of the various "ingredients" increases (like y'know how your H&H are artificially inflated when you're dehydrated?) and probably the level of the meds in your bloodstream is a bit higher. Try drinking a ton of water on a shaky day sometime and see if it helps!
