Hi chaos,

I have tremors which are related to MS. Tremors, for me, can present differently.

I have a very fine hand tremor which for the most part is not noticeable to me or others. The times I do notice it is when I am eating (food seems to magically fall off my silverware ). When writing (my writing many times looks like a child's), and when I pick up a glass (sometimes the contents splash over).

I can have very visible shaking of my hands.

I get internal tremors. I shake internally with no visible sign it's happening. The shaking is throughout my body. This one drives me crazy.

I have some Xanax
chaos, Xanax is a Benzodiazepine and can be used to treat tremors.

For the most part I have learned to ignore tremors but when they get to the point where they are driving me crazy I use Klonopin (benzodiazepine).

Baclofen is used for Spasticity (muscle spasms, muscle tightness/stiffness and the pain it can cause). Baclofen isn't going to help tremors.
