Dr. Eric Weisman answered

Specializes in Neurology

Yes: Inhibition of the H3 histamine receptor can affect serotonin, acetylcholine and nor-epinephrine levels throughout the body. This can result in an assortment of symptoms. Sometimes shakiness can be due to the underlying condition for which the medication was prescribed.
