Default inderal
I take inderal 10 mgs occasionally when I have to give a lecture in a class I'm teaching. It lowers the blood pressure and thus moderates (but does not eliminate) tremor -- one of the stress symptoms of pd. It's quite popular among classical musicians/soloists who don't want their nerves to get the better of their technical skills. It's very inexpensive with, for me, no side effects.

Has anyone else tried either of those meds, and what were the results?

Thanks so much for any input.
