How to handle Essential Tremors?

1 Answer

Answer :

Bri, Just to clarify, did you diagnose yourself based on personal research, or did a doctor give you that diagnosis? If in fact it was a doctor, I assume that other movement disorders were excluded, since essential tremor is in fact a “diagnosis of exclusion”. That said, you might want to seek out a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders for help if you haven’t already. Sadly, there is no cure, but some medications can be effective in reducing the severity and frequency of the tremors including propranolol and primodone. There are others as well, but those are the “front-line” medications. Truthfully, there is no tried and true treatment, as each person responds differently to potential medications. So, you might not respond to one medicine, but have a great response to another. Best of luck.
