I am definitely tremor dominant (big bad noticeable tremor, both sides now) and have not yet found the right med to control it, or the right combo of meds. I've tried a few, had some fairly minor benefits but nothing that worked for tremor, and nothing worth the side effects. I'm on a very low dose of Sinemet (higher doses gave me dystonia--muscle cramping--right away). Also tried Amantadine, again some benefits, not for tremor, and intolerable side effect--severe insomnia. Brief Mirapex trial, did nothing for me, but got vision problems after just a few weeks (MDS said unrelated, but seemed like a big coincidence to me). If anyone finds the right stuff, I'd love to know what worked for you, esp. in cases where Sinemet didn't (like maybe the ET meds, for example?).
