Benign Essential Trem
"Have had essential temors for many years, now at age 69 they interfered with my quality of life.  Could not hold anything steady and my beautiful penmanship was horrid!  I fought the thought of taking a prescribed medicine since I was so lucky not to take any, even at my age, except Imitrex for migraines 2-3 times a month.  I am taking 50mg 2x a day, and it has been working great, even the migraines has decreased.  I am sleeping so soundly at night that my days are so much better.  After 4 months on it, I have noticed no side effects, but a little of the tremor is returning, which my doctor told me could happen.  Not ready to increase dose though."
