Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.

I have noted your clinical details. Based on this, you could use propranolol to control tremors (shaking). For my patients, I usually start propranolol at a dose of 40 mg once daily. It is more effective than primidone and has lesser side effects.

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,
