A member asked:

Since my muscle tremors almost go all away with a 0.5mg dose of xanax (alprazolam). is it safe to say its from anxiety?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Tremors: No. Tremors are usually not anxiety but can be an essential reality in many people. But, the anti-anxiwety medicine, alprazolam, is often used to sedate the muscle movement.
