benign essential trem
"I am a 51 yr old white female with progressive essential tremors noticeable since about 18 yrs, (neck, head, hand tremors).  At 38 yrs old, I began taking propranolol which helped some but the amount needed to really control the tremor made me too tired to function.  I began gabapentin about 5 years ago and it nearly eliminates my tremor with only low doses."
