Benign Essential Trem
"I&#039;m a 26 year old female and my tremor started when I was 20. Back and forth to the doctors for 4 years and told it was due to &#039;anxiety.&#039; 2 years ago they sent me to a neurologist who diagnosed me with a benign essential tremor which worsens when physical. I&#039;ve been on Primidone for approximately 6 months now and have increased the dosage from 50 mg now a month later 300mg. Tremor comes and goes still but not as bad.
My next problem now is a rare side effect of Primidone is a skin rash, my doctors are unable to confirm whether this is due to the medication or whether it is Rosacea, does anyone else have this problem? I have now been advised to decrease my dosage! I cannot win."
