For Benign Essential Tremor: 50 mg/day. Helped but after a couple of weeks started to itch in very personal places. Kept taking because itch was preferable to shakes. Then developed vertigo and quit taking it. Vertigo went away. Resumed because vertigo and itching was preferable to shakes. Vertigo and itch subsided after 4 weeks. Shakes somewhat better. |

For Migraine Prevention: Forbade was one of the first drugs prescribed for me by the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago. It seems to have reduced the frequency and severity of my chronic daily migraines. I've been taking it for about 18 years. For Migraine Prevention: Now 42, I took Corgard for migraines when I was a very healthy and active 14yr old. It did not help with migraines, but did leave me with lifelong low blood pressure and heart palpitations. I would not recommend this medicine to anyone. It has impacted my ability to do anything that gets my heart rate up significantly. I am, and always have been very physically active and in shape. So my lifelong issues from taking this medication does not come from lifestyle choices |

For Benign Essential Tremor: without it I couldn't right my name. But my tremors haven't stopped. They are getting worse. I just started taking 300 mg 3 days ago, so we will see. Right now I don't like how I feel..
