I've hand hand tremors for approximately 4 years now. I had been on an antidepressant (Nardil)for approx 30 years which worked fine until 2 years ago when I began having severe sleeping issues. I saw a neurologist about my hand tremors who advised me to get off Nardil so as she could prescribe tremor medications without worry of issues related to interaction with Nardil. I have been off Nardil for 2 years now and tremors remain, although prescribed Gabapentin and Primdone which have not worked. Another drug offered for tremors was Topiramate which I declined due to stated side effects. I am familiar with the brain surgery option, but will defer to last result.
So, 2 years later, with no relief after being on multiple anti depressants and anti anxiety drugs these disorders remain including hand tremors .I will be seeing a neuro movement specialist at NW University in Illinois in November and a new Psych at end of October. I hope These specialists will be able to help, One last ailment has been fainting spells. It started out in January and continued one episode a month for several months. Now I notice when bending over for short durations while performing lawn care, I get dizzy, have to sit down and then my anxiety increases. So, currently I cannot to lawn chores, continue with hand tremors and anxiety. I have had my heart thoroughly checked with multiple tests and procedures which were all ok. I have a full regiment of blood and urine tests which were all ok. I am hopeful my upcoming appointments will be of some help.
douglasebaker, have you investigated thiamine? This first link is about thiamine injections for treatment of leg tremors however a fat soluble thiamine like benfotiamine may offer the same benefit.Fat soluble forms of thiamine like benfotiamine are more efficient in passing through the blood/brain barrier than water soluble forms. Thiamine, like vitamin D, require magnesium to become bioactive. The inclusion of links on Parkinson's and GI issuse is to show the broad range of health concerns thiamine deficiency touches plus further explain it's role and this is just a short list. B vitamins works better together so I encourage you to research each. Always consult with your health care professional before using any supplement.
