Mysoline (generic=primidone) is indeed an anti-epileptic medicine, as stated by Hans. However, in the last few years, it has been found to be effective in the treatment of essential tremor. Essential tremor is an action tremor, different from the resting tremor of Parkinson's Disease. The tremor of Parkinson's disease is slow, and is decreased by voluntary movement. Action tremors typically do not decrease with voluntary activity.
