What is the best treatment for essential tremor?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Essential tremor: Possibly propanolol ( dosis has to be gradually increased) or primidone. 50% pts do not response to medical treatment. Brain stimulation there is for very frustrated pts. Some tremors may improve after drinking alcoholic beverages.

Try diff meds: Propranolol and Primidone are first-line, but other seizure medications are tried as well - such a Gabapentin or topirimate.
