Functional tremors: Anyone had this?
Brain & Nervous System | Last Active: Oct 12, 2023 | Replies (88)Comment receiving replies
How did they determine that you had Essential Tremors? My husband has bad tremors in his hands, pretty much all the time. His doctor first prescribed Primidone and that did not help him at all. His doctor has now changed his medication to Propranolol HCI ER 60mg. He started this med a couple weeks ago, but it doesn't seem to be helping his tremors either, so what is next? Anybody know?

@shrinkerbell - a couple of others who might be familiar with medications for tremor are @johnbishop and @jenniferhunter. Also, just wanted to check in and see if your husband has seen any tremor improvement in the last several days with his medication?

Hi, @shrinkerbell - hoping that some of the other members here who have essential tremor can answer how this diagnosis was determined for them. Hoping @grammlyn will have some information and perhaps @hopeful33250, as well as what other treatment options are available.
Sounds like waiting for a medication to finally work for his tremors is challenging.
What is your husband's current diagnosis? What timeframe did the doctor give for potentially seeing results with the medication?
