Tremors

After 5 years, my tremors have increased to a point were they are far more than just inconvenient. I tried C/L for about 2-1/2 moths, but it made me horribly ill and didn't seem to do much for the tremors. I take amantadine 100 mg three times a day, and ropinirole 8 mg once a day. Has anyone had any good results with something else to reduce tremors?

Yes, while I was on vacation for the past two weeks and so away from home where I normally take 15 herbs + MP daily, I decided to take with me the pharmaceuticals which were prescribed to me which are sinemet and gabapentin and they worked like a charm. I'm dreadfully fearful of the side effects of conventional drugs. My Parkinson's is tremor dominant, and I should mention that the MP+ herbs works very well also, but the only thing is they are never easy as swallowing a pill.

C/L is the generic form of sinemet and I can't take it. I'll have to ask my doctor about gabapentin. Thanks for responding.

I was prescribed gabapentin but never started it because of the side effect I read about that it damages organs

Lots of capsules and expensive treatment. Does it at least work?

No capsules, powder form. And not expensive at all. It works very well. I have to say lots of work and trial and error but it's paid off.
