For Benign Essential Tremor "I have been on Primidone 50 mg for a little over a year. I take it at night, and it helps me sleep. I take some other medications for the tremors, but the Primidone does seem to help them as well."

For Benign Essential Tremor "I think it works great. I've had tremors since I was a child, and Primidone works, but it also doesn't have to completely knock you out to be very effective."
