T2000 is a medication currently under development for the treatment of movement disorders, including essential tremor (ET). Although T2000 is a new medication, it belongs to a class of medications that has been used for many years for the treatment of a variety of medical conditions. In previous studies, T2000 appeared to be effective in controlling symptoms of ET and some patients with severe ET had major improvements in tremor. As would be expected for medications in this class, T2000 can cause sedation at high blood levels, such as may be seen when large doses are given to older individuals. In younger patients, T2000 caused only minimal side effects even when administered at high doses and for periods of several weeks to several months.
