Tremors can also be caused by conditions or medicines that affect the nervous system, including Parkinson's disease, liver failure, alcoholism, mercury or arsenic poisoning, lithium, and certain antidepressants.
Over time it often travels to the opposite hand or to the leg on the same side of the body. Head tremors are not very common in Parkinsonâs but a chin tremor can be seen fairly frequently. Parkinsonâs tremors are generally treated with the same medications as other symptoms of the disease. A medication called trihexyphenidyl or Artane is used exclusively to treat tremor. It is the most effective medication for tremor, but has to be used with caution as it can cause problems with confusion and make urination difficult. In addition to tremors, we also see dyskinesias in persons with Parkinsonâs disease.
