I ask my neurologist could I try kemadrin for tremor and she suggested benztropine instead. Has anyone ever tried this?

These are both anticholinergic agents, which is not a good idea for Parkinson's patients since our acetylcholine system is likely compromised to begin with. I personally noticed an increase in motor impairment as a result of an anticholinergic.
Here is a study of anticholinergic discontinuation:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...
"Anticholinergic agents can however worsen tardive dyskinesia and cause many adverse effects, including cognitive impairment. Previous studies of anticholinergic discontinuation in patients with schizophrenia receiving antipsychotics have yielded a wide range of EPS relapse rates. Improvement in cognition after anticholinergic withdrawal was observed in some studies... Significant improvements were seen on the motor and the symbol-coding tasks."
