Does anyone have any experience of this? Was on it for a week and had to stop taking it as my tremors became worse 
Hi Princess135,
Iāve just started using āTizanidineā today to try to address tremor in the right-hand & arm so much too early to say whether itās any good - at least it doesnāt seem to be causing any adverse side-effects so far ā¦but itās very early days as yet ?!!
The other medication I was aware of (ā¦but never tried) is āClonazepamā.
Iām afraid I hadnāt heard of āIsonaizidā before this post, but if neither my neuro nor GP even mentioned it, Iād be inclined to believe they were less than convinced of itās effectiveness (ā¦or the drug is so new that they had no personal experience of it as yet ? )
Maybe one of the other meds would suit you better ?
Good luck!!
Dom
Sorry Princess135,
Further to my previous post, Iāve just looked up āIsonaizidā and it seems to be a medication aimed at Tuberculosis (TB), so Iām a little confused as to why you were believing it would help tremor ?
Were you diagnosed with TB and did your GP believe āIsonaizidā would help ?

Itās a trial really which Iāve stopped today. Tremors are much worse and Iām spaced out!
Just like Dom says, Isonaizid is an anti-TB medication (one of the standards, in fact), and one of its known side-effects is peripheral neuropathy. That could account for your increase tremor.
While it is not considered dangerous, some of itās other side effects are not so nice.
Like Dom says, what were you prescribed it for?
