Is the only way to get rid of my hand tremor to stop taking Neurontin 600mg and Depakote 750mg a day? I will go through horrible withdrawals getting off of them and no doc seems to want to put me on anything else or lower anything. I can hardly feed myself without spilling all the food so I don't eat much. I can hardly dress myself with these shaky hands.

You can ask your doctor about breaking up your medication dosages and taking some in the morning/night whenever. You could look into extended release medications verses the medications that get absorbed more quickly. They can prescribe more medication for the hand tremors or you can taper off the medication and try something different.

You could ask your doc for congentin. It should help the tremors.

I have only one word: Primidone.
I have spoken!

Ask your pharmacist if the intensity of the tremors is a "normal" side effect. With that answer talk to your doctor, he/she should be able to help you. If you don't get any answers tell them you'll seek a second opinion.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
