I haven't updated this thread in too long.
My tremor is absolutely out of control. It actually keeps me from falling asleep because I'm shaking so badly. I saw the neurologist; she prescribed propanolol. I'm at 160mg, which I cannot tolerate because my BP is so low, as is my heart rate. Walking a short distance is very difficult. I have to decrease it to 120mg.
At the same time I am decreasing the perphenazine, due to the tremoring. I have dropped Pristiq to 50mg. and the icy new pdoc raised Wellbutrin to 450mg.
Several changes at once. Not my choice, but no other way around it, due to the tremoring. I don't want to develop TD. The tremoring is quite literally unbearable.
Mood wise - mostly depressed and anxious, which the tremor contributes to (shake and you feel anxious). I've reached the end of my rope, finally, with covid. The isolation is damning. I can barely stand it anymore- but what to do?
I am wondering if the very small, verrry slow Klonopin taper is actually contributing to the anxiety. How to know, except to go back to the original dose, see how I feel.
Please no criticisms. Please understand that this tremor is severe, and potentially dangerous as far as TD.
