Suggest Medications For Tremors Due To Anxiety
I am a 62 yr old female my upper torso and head shakes. It started out as shaking inside then it eventually went to shaking on the outside. This started after my husband was killed in a car accident 10 yrs ago. I also have panic and anxiety attacks which I take valium for. But the valium doesn t stop the tremors. They get worse if I get upset. also have feelings of being spaced out and disoriented. Any suggestions would help. I feel like I have no social life outside my home anymore ):

anxiety van also causes this
detail evaluation is necessary to know cause of body tremor

if anxiety is there than take etizolam .5 mg three times in a day ,, it is non sedative anxiolytic
propranalol also helpful to control tremors
but if it is due to other organic reasons like Parkinson, other brain related pathology than assessment is must to start any drug
consult neurologist to rule out any brain related pathology
if due to stress than consult psychiatrist he will guide you
