How can I stop my hands from shaking?

I get body tremors but mostly my hands shake out of control. I've had this problem since I was little and I'm 23 now (just turned 23 today as a matter of fact...yay!! exciting...not) Is there anything out there that can help besides benzos and anything else that depresses the CNS?

Re: How can I stop my hands from shaking?

i have always trembled like that as well. as far back as i can recall people would ask me why i was shaking? i thought maybe it was because i smoked. or maybe because my great grandfather had parkinsons disease and that was why i shook like that. now i am assuming it is my anxiety. because i don't smoke anymore and today when i woke up i was feeling a little anxious and while putting on my makeup i could feel myself shaking.

sorry i don't have any "stop shaking" remedies...

happy holidays and well wishes.

I had this problem when I was in my late teens and I needed a steady hand for my job. My doctor put me on Inderal and it worked a treat , mine was caused by anxiety so when I got more confident at my job I didnt need them anymore.

My sister suffered with tremors for a year and half.

They finally prescribed paxil for her and kept adjusting the dosage. That got rid of tremors, her depression, and all panic attacks. She's doing great now.

For that year and half she had constant trembling.

Re: How can I stop my hands from shaking?

My hands have always been shakey when I'm nervous. I hate it. I especially don't want anyone to notice it. If someone asks me why I'm shaking, I tell them my blood sugar is low even if it is not. I've heard that Inderal (propranolol) helps but I'm too drug phobic to take it. I took one dose and had a bad anxiety attack within 5 minutes of taking it and then once it kicked in, I felt very sleepy and lightheaded for the next 5 or so hours until it wore off.
