benign essential trem
"I have epilepsy and had it controlled for several years with other medications.  Recently I was diagnosed with Essential Tremor and the doctor prescribed Primidone. On the second day of use I had a seizure, as I continued usage and increased dosage as directed I started losing muscle control in my legs, I had periods where I thought I was losing my mind. I was unable to speak clearly as it felt like my tongue was swollen, but it was not.  It got to the point where I could not stand up in the shower without leaning against the walls.  My wife said get off that medicine!  Could not reach my doctor so I decreased dosage to zero. I take a lot of different medications for number of different medical problems, I think my brain had had it. "
