What Is The Remedy For The Familial Tremor?
I have been prescribed Pur-bloka for Familial Tremour but It does not seem to be helping much. Especially in the mornings. I have noticed that if I have a glass or two of wine at lunch time then the tremor almost stops completely but I certainly cannot have wine first thing in the morning.

The way you describe it seems to be a case of benign essential tremor. Propranolol (purbloka) is an adequate treatment, if not effective increasing the dose may be considered but only after consulting your doctor cause it has other effects on cardiovascular and respiratory system.
If still not effective or dose can't be increased another valid option is a drug called Primidone.
