A member asked:
How do you identify the difference between drug induced tremor vs essential tremor? and how long drug induced tremors last? could it take years to get better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
C’est difficile: Age of patient, onset pattern, swing distance, bilaterality, medications, and other variables all need to be considered before determining the cause of your tremor. See a neurologist for full evaluation.
