Kemadrin

has anyone used Kemadrin (Procyclidine) for controlling tremors?

I am now on minimum dose 2.5 mg tablet.as Neurologist says there are risks of brain damage. I have been on 2 x 2.5mg for 9 years and totally controlled any tremor. Tremor returned forcibly when fully off Kemadrin so I held on to 1 dose. I did not have a tremor issue when on Kemadrin.

In the past I was considering a move to another Neurologist who wanted me off Kemadrin immediately and told it was 'old' technology. I've seen news references to concerns about Anticholinergics.

What is your issue?

for how long a single dose remains effective

I take 2.5mg at 0700 daily and generally tremor is not a problem. Under stress a tremor can kick in but it's managable. Very hard to come off this drug. I'm comfortable with this.
