A low-dose therapy (50 mg/day) is just as good as a high-dose therapy (750 mg/day). The usual dose range is 120 to 250 mg/day in two divided doses or as one single dose. [22] [15] Primidone is not the only anticonvulsant used for essential tremor; the others include topiramate and gabapentin.
This medication has shown the same beneficial effects in reducing tremors as propranolol and is recommended for use based on guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology and the MDS Task Force on Tremor. The initial dose of primidone is recommended at 25 mg per day and should be increased up to the maximum dose of 250 mg per day.
Phenylethylmalonamide (PEMA) is an active metabolite of the anticonvulsant drug primidone, although it is produced in a much lower concentration than phenobarbital, the other active metabolite. [ 1 ] References

Treatment can be problematic: Barbiturates and primidone must be avoided as they commonly precipitate symptoms. [28] Some benzodiazepines are safe, and, when used in conjunction with newer anti-seizure medications such as gabapentin , offer a possible regimen for seizure control.
The consensus is to reduce dosage gradually over several weeks, e.g. 4 or more weeks for diazepam doses over 30 mg/day, [1] with the rate determined by the person's ability to tolerate symptoms. [120] The recommended reduction rates range from 50% of the initial dose every week or so, [121] to 10–25% of the daily dose every 2 weeks. [120]
