Hi Shirley: Just want to tell you that when I was diagnosed with Essential Tremors, they gave me nothing.As I told you at rest I did not tremor which proves that I do have Essential Tremors. But because I did not have balance or stability, this when I was given Sinemet by a Neurologist out here in Israel. The fact that I am responding to this medication is when I was told I have Parkinson Disease. Now that I am still on Sinemet, I am feeling much better, but from what I understand, some people do well with Sinemet and others do not do well on Sinemet which is you. Guess I lucked out with Sinemet.
