Could the medicines i have to take cause my hands to shake and me to drop things all the time or is something else going on now?

Yes: Certain medications can most certainly have the side effects you are describing, so you should see the doctor prescribing them to you and discuss your concerns. Good luck from nyc.

Could be med: Many meds have side effects of tremors, including depakote, amphetamines, ritalin, (methylphenidate) etc., but high thyroid fcntn and hereditary essential tremors do occur not infrequently. On occasion, underlying problems in brain and spinal cord could be a culprit. Not a bad idea to get examined, obtain updated blood tests, and perhaps modify current meds if this is an answer.
