Evening all. Do any of you have any experience of Primidone? I've just been prescribed it for tremors which started getting worse when I started Pregabalin. My psychiatrist thinks the tremors are anxiety related but they wear off around 5-6pm when the morning dose of Pregabalin is starting to wear off. Just wondering if anyone here takes it.

Hi
I have been using primidone for about two years.
I have essential tremors.
After not being able to write or eat properly (the food kept falling off my fork). Primidone has changed my life. Hardly any shakes now.

Hope this puts your mind at ease

Take care
Neil

Well I won't be taking it in the daytime again. I was completely out of it all day so I've switched to night time instead. Not long since taken it so I expect a good sleep!

More like a coma and I'm still out of it!

Hi Neil, how long did it take you to get used to it and what dose are you on if you don't mind me asking?
