Seroquel helped my husband's FTD-related tremors
Just a thought…Seroquel helped with the tremors my husband had as a result of frontal temporal dementia. He developed tremors. They were Parkinson’s like but not Parkinson’s. He was prescribed Seroquel to help with moods but we soon realized his tremors were better. His gait improved a bit also. Within the FTD community I often read how Seroquel improves the quality of life mentally and occasionally physically for persons with FTD. It may help with tremors and associated discomforts. I hope this info helps someone.

I wonder if your tremors could be a Seroquel-induced dyskinesia? How long did he take Seroquel and what does.
Best of luck,
Jake
Thanks for sharing this @anncgrl. @jakedduck1, I think you may have misread Ann's post. She shared that Seroquel reduced his tremors.

1 ReactionMy dad has had vascular dementia for 8 years now. Last week, it was like he was manic, would talk non stop for hours, couldnt sit still, more confused and tremors of hand were worse..The following week, he was slowed down but had a few physically aggressive episodes with new hypersexuality behaviors on same day. He was more confused than he has ever been as well. We got in to see his PCP who prescribed Seroquel, 50 mgs before bed to help him get more restful sleep with thoight that this would lessen irritability, anxiety and hopefully the aggression too. Well, he has only taken two doses and today, his tremors are not noticeable even when he is holding glass, newspaper, etc. Will be interesting to see what happens over the next week.
