Primary Orthostatic Tremor

I was taking 50 mg of Primidone at bedtime. I tapered by cutting the dose by 1/4 every two weeks (used a pill cutter). This worked for me and I didn’t feel worse during the process. I was glad to be done with the primidone and it’s side effects. My orthostatic tremors have been no worse without it. I hope this will work for you.

So you cut in half and again in half?!such small pills!!! :/
How would you recommend I taper the 50 am and 50 pm?
When I started it was 25 at night for 2 weeks, then add 25 am for 2 weeks, then 50 pm for 2 weeks then 50 am…. I’m scared I’m going to have bad side effects!
