Seizures
"I&#039;m a 64 yr old male. I have essential tremor of the hands and neck/head. Until 5 yrs ago, it had gone undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for 45 years.  I&#039;ve been taking Primidone for 2 months now.  I&#039;ve recently increased the dosage to 100mg - 2 times a day. This is the only Essential Tremor drug I&#039;m taking at this time. I&#039;ve been on Inderal, Topiramate, Gabipentin, Carbodopa/Levadopa  and combinations. Recently Phenol injections into my neck muscles did more harm then good. Now, I can&#039;t even lift my arms above my shoulders. Here&#039;s hoping the primidone increase has some effect on my hands and head shakes. No side effects so far. I have not figured out why some days I have almost no tremor. Have tracked my diet, doesn&#039;t seem to be connected ?"
