My neurologist put me on topiramate 25mg 2 tabs bid. I have head tremors from a car accident. I have been on this medication for almost a year, but my head is still shaking. Evidently this med is not working. I'm researching Inderal. Thinking about talking to her about that med. What do you think?
Topiramate is a safe and effective drug for treating tremors (however, it is more commonly used for treating migraine and epilepsy).
Inderal (Propranolol) is more effective than topiramate for treating tremors. So, in my opinion, it would be a good idea for you to switch from topiramate to inderal.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
