Low doses of topiramate are effective in essential tremor: a report of three cases

Emilia M Gatto et al. Clin Neuropharmacol. 2003 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

We here report on 3 patients with essential tremor, otherwise unresponsive to pharmacological treatment, who greatly benefited from low doses of topiramate (50 mg/d). No side effects were observed and improvement was sustained during a mean of 7 months (range 3-12 months) follow up. Our results suggest that topiramate titration should be performed gradually, so as not to neglect cases responsive to low doses.
