It could also be something like essential tremors, which are harmless and a much more common cause of shaking than Parkinson's. I know it must be hard with everything else you have going on, but I would see a doctor and find out for sure before you worry too much about having Parkinson's. *Hugs*

Some meds cause parkinson's like symptoms, lots of psychiatric ones can. Some shaking might not go away even if stopping the drug. Some will. It's important to find doctors who understand psychiatric medication properly, or do your own research if you can find enough online time so you can bring it up the next dr. you meet and say 'oh, could it be a side-effect of drug x? Is it serious?' etc.
