dhama, my doctor put me on topamax and amitriptyline. I take both of them at night.I never sleep very good think thats why he put on the amitriptyline to help me sleep. If you don't get enough sleep it can make the tremors worst. light exerise is good for it too. Im doing water therpy now. Just don't over do. Listen to metalynn she rocks lol

Welcome Dharma... I too have ET and was diagnosed this past year. The ladies here are wonderful and will be able to offer you great advice. Going to see a neurologist is the best first step I think. They diagnosed me right away. I am on neurontin (the generic being gabapentin) for shaking. Mine is generally in my arms, wrists, and hands. I'm a musician, so the medication really helps when it comes to playing my instrument. I take it twice a day. How do you sleep, because that can be a factor too if it doesnt run in your family. If sleep is an issue, you may want to think about a sleep study. For the rest of all who may read this.. finishing up grading papers and hopefully I will be able to check in more frequently. Hope things are going well for all. Gail
