Core criterion A
Fine tremor occurring during attempts to maintain a posture that has developed in association with use of a medication
Consistent with [Medication-Induced Postural Tremor] [specifier(s)]. Following exposure to a medication known to precipitate tremor, there have been fine, rapid tremor on sustained posture; action tremor during voluntary movement; heightened tremor amplitude with stress or stimulation; symmetric upper-limb involvement, forming a pattern consistent with a medication-related postural/action tremor emerging during treatment or shortly after dose escalation. The presentation is further characterised by a temporal relationship between medication initiation or dose change and tremor onset, and persistence or fluctuation while the medication is continued. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment, and are not better explained by essential tremor, anxiety-related physiologic tremor, hyperthyroidism, withdrawal states, parkinsonism, or other neurological conditions.
