No but if you're getting a positive benefit then you are really blessed, I once was given it to try and it put me in the emergency room, nearly put me out for the count, it did have me in an emergency room and a specialist said to get it out of me pronto because I was having an adverse reaction. So there are a few people who can't handle it but usually it's used for anxiety and pretty effectively. It's actual chemical mechanism seems to be as a combined serotonin inhibitor and norepinephrine uptake inhibitor, Very much in the same group as duloxetine, that is antidepressant, which would explain a lot in cases where it helps indirectly tone down dopamine excesses or dopamine "static" (like radio static) effects in the wrong place, especially when used with close attention and sensitivity to working toward what is the best sort of Goldilocks dose and then checking on that frequently. Both remeron and duloxetine are among the latest group of antidepressants but since you're really talking neurotransmitters, it doesn't always make a great deal of sense to limit your thinking into one "category" or another. Because as you can see it also works for anxiety and in the case of duloxetine it also manages pain to a degree and it's given for that, so it's not the easiest to classify, And your remeron is in the exact same chemical family as duloxetine. If it works for you it's not particularly dangerous at all, pretty safe really, People have been on it for decades at a time with success and little problem, so I would think it's pretty safe and you should enjoy it.

I take Helex (benzodiazepam) every morning before going to job. It definitly helps a lot, tremor dissapears or reduce a lot. I don't think I could work at all without it.

Mirtazapine is also prescribed for essential tremor.

"Mirtazapine proved to be an efficacious drug treatment for tremor symptoms in patients suffering from ET. It had limited side effects and excellent overall tolerability, could be used as daily monotherapy, and did not interfere with any of the many other medications being taken simultaneously by the patients."

I did not take it for parkinsons just for depression. It did work as an antidepressant so much so my daughter and her fiancee tried it. It was helpful for sleep issues. However it did lead to brain fog and feeling knocked off so we all stopped it eventually. I dont recall any tremors for us. It was good against venlafaxine for my daughter and her fiancee. Venlafaxine however is very activating and does cause some shakiness.
