One can get EPS when first starting on an SSRI or when upping the dose--the likely explanation is that either causes increased serotoninigic activity, resulting in a lowering of DA activity in the striatum. These usually go away once the serotonin receptors have been downregulated. So the doc who says that the tremors will abate probably is correct.
Celexa is new in the US, but it has been used extensively in Europe. I'd be quite surprised if there haven't been studies on its use in adolescents done in Europe.
