While doing a research on recent medications for BET (Benign Essential Tremor) found the following two most common medications which help eradicate this disease. But it is believed that these medicated treatments have various side effects too. Here is the excerpt taken from an online portal. Have a look.
The 2 medications are:
Primidone and Propranolol
The most commonly prescribed Benign Essential Tremor medications are Primidone and Propranolol. Primidone is an anti-convulsant medication used to treat Epilepsy and seizures. According to the Essential Tremor Essential Tremor website, approximately 60% of BET patients have successful results with Primidone. I personally have had great success with using Primidone. Within 48 hours after I started taking Primidone I saw a great reduction in my hand tremors. Primidone should be taken at bedtime to avoid initial side effects. Some side effects of using Primidone are fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, and flu-like symptoms. Even though some of these side effects can occur when you first start using Primidone, there are very few long-term problems associated with its use.
Propranolol is a beta-blocker and is typically prescribed for treating high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. I have never tried Propranolol to treat my BET, so I have no personal experience with this prescription. Like Primidone, approximately 60% of patients have successful results with using Propranolol. Some side effects include decreased blood pressure and pulse rate, diarrhea, weight gain, rash, nausea, impotence, fatigue and depression. BET patients who have heart problems, asthma and diabetes may not be able to take Propranolol.
