Topiramate for essential tremor


Recently my doctor suggested I try topiramate for my essential tremor, what do you think?
Absolutely not. The drug has been evaluated in trials and was only marginally better than a sugar pill. Plus, in the trials many people dropped out because of side effects. The drug is also very expensive. My advice is go with propranolol. It is cheap, effective and has been around for 80 years. It is a safe medication.
