There is some hand shaking if I am anxious but so much better than at the end of propranolol

I'm still not sure of my dosage. The tablets are small and round - not square like the ones pictured here. I take two every morning and two every evening.

I was told to start at 150 mgs. at bedtime. I did a and slept for about 36 hours. The next night I dropped the dose to 25 and increased it by 25 Mgs. every week.

I'm on other drugs that cause sedation but I didn't have a problem and didn't need to drink caffeine before starting it. I still have to take .25mgs of Valium twice a day to control Tremors. It also helped my chronic migraines a lot but due to having to take hight doses of caffeine to function, I started getting Migraines again. I have decided to taper off the medicine and go back on Neurontin 300 Mgs at bedtime which worked better.

I'm 80 years old. Have had shaky hands as far back as I can remember. I always managed OK until recently when the tremors increased to the point where it was embarrassing and difficult to function. Pyrimidine stopped this and now my hands are normal. Still shaky when anxious but that's OK.
