How Can Essential Tremor Of The Tongue Be Treated?
My husband has been diagnosed with essential tremor of the tongue due possibly to a concussion sustained in a motorcycle accident years ago. The tremor also involves the lower jaw and affects his speech (slurring,etc.). He has been prescribed clonazepam. Is there any other medication that could help to control the symptoms?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
A beta blocker such as propanolol may be helpful as well. Propanolol and other betablockers are commonly used to treat tremors.
He may want to consider seeing a neurologist if he has not already done so.
I hope this helps
