benign essential trem
"I have taken Propranolol to treat Benign Esstential Tremors for over 20 years now.  I finally saw my PCP when not only my hands would shake but, under stressful situations, my head began shaking.  He prescribed 40mg once daily.  Twenty-some years later, I am still on the same dose - though I am just beginning to realize I need to increase the dose as the tremors are rearing their ugly heads again on occasion. The only side effect I am aware of is that I had less energy and, in the beginning, I recall a weight gain of about 20 lbs. If memory is affected adversely, I don't recall. Haha!"
