This was recomended for me by a friend doctor for tremor which is my dominant symptom.
has any body info or experience on this which will be greatly appreciated.

Imark,
I recently started taking Kemadrin to control my tremor (6 weeks ago). To date, my tremor has lessened but not quit completely. It is at least manageable now. As for side effects, so far, i have not experienced more than dry mouth. There is a genearic for Kemadrin so it isn't expensive. I think mine is like $7.45 for a 30 day supply.

Side Effects:

dry mouth
widening of the pupils (black circle in the middle of the eye)
blurred vision
upset stomach
vomiting
stomach pain
constipation
giddiness
lightheadedness
muscle weakness
rash

Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:

confusion
disorientation
agitation
hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist)
fever
pain, swelling, redness, or hardness of the cheek
drainage of pus in the mouth
