Yes: Epilepsy medications can cause tremor. Typically, medication induced tremor is on both sides, low in amplitude and high in frequency. It is present with holding your harms out and when using the hands but not so much at rest. Seizure can sometimes be mistaken for tremor.

Tremors?: Medication toxicity might be a concern. You should check with your doctor.
