FWIW, I was having tremors in my left hand last fall on wellbutrin after having been on it for three years (it also wasn't helping with the depression/ADHD anymore). However, after doing some research, I found that the glucophage that I started on last year can interfere with the metabolism of B-vitamins which are essential to neurotransmitter function. Adding massive doses of B-vitamins (B-6, B-12, and folic acid) to my medication regimen (not taken at the same time as the glucophage) seems to have completely overcome whatever depletion-effect the glucophage had and now my wellbutrin works fine for the depression/ADHD again without tremors.
