Trihexyphenidyl (Artane, Parkin, Pacitane, etc.) for tremor

Hi all, does anyone have experience with Trihexyphenidyl for parkinson's tremor? My dr wants me to try it as my tremors (full-on shakes more like!) are not responding to c/l. Thanks.

its the only thing that works for my 'body shakes' as you put it (tremor is an understatement) ... be aware that it increases risk of dementia with long term use. If you do end up trying it, take as little as possible. I take 1/3 of a 2mg tablet, I have heard of others that take 1/4 tablet.

Thanks very much for the reply. Do you notice any side effects? Do you take c/l aswell?

i take it with my c/l. as for side effects... a slight relaxed feeling, comparable to a bit of THC. Thats what relieves the tremor.

That sounds like quite a nice side effect. Thanks for the info, best wishes to you
