there's a medicine for essential tremor (runs in my family) called mysoline that doesn't lowed BP. (you were on propranolol, right?) mysoline does, though, interact with lots of medicines. maybe worth asking the doc about if you want to draw.
Thank you for the suggestion. My tremor is bad enough to be annoying, if not problematic, in everyday tasks, and I would love to have something that would at least significantly lessen it. It was indeed propranolol I was on before, and my doctor said she couldn't think of any medications for essential tremor that didn't have side effects of either low blood pressure or depression (which I already have), but I'll try to remember to ask about this one the next time I'm in.
