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.
