I was diagnosed with familial/essential
tremors at the age of 18. I always had a
tremor in my hands all through my
childhood which I just figured it was
nervousness. I originally took inderal
la for years to control it which did a
good job but it made me excessively tired.
To the point I had to nap everyday.
After I stopped taking it I had energy to
spare. I now take atenolol 25 mg a day.
It does not control it as well, but at
least I am not fatigued. I am right
handed and although I use both hands to
carry boxes daily, I find I cannot lift a
glass of water with my left hand as it
will shake uncontrollably. My aunt has
the tremor in the head and my late uncle
had it is his hands, whereas my mother has
no sign of it. I am getting ready to
take wellbutrin sr and wonder if this is
going to aggravate the condition. Any
advice would be appreciated.

I really wish I could be of help but I can
only suggest that it might be worth
checking out some alternative therapies,
naturopathy, homeopathy, also natural meds
try a search engine like yahoo or google
& ask say - what natural meds
help......?.... Etc.
