See below: You need to discuss with your rheumatologist before stopping your plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine). Something else could be causing the tremors.

No: It is very unlikely that Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) is causing tremors. Speak with rheumatologist before stopping the plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine).
