user of alprazplam by Dr.Okum

Dear Okun,

Is there any likelihood that a person's long term use of alprazolam (Xanax,seroquel,lexapro,besquil, silinox)
might cause tremors,Essential tremor, Familial tremor, Hand tremor?

Is it leading to a possible diagnosis of parkinson's disease?

Regards

We do not believe it leads to PD.

It may however enhance an already present tremor like essential tremor or physiological tremor.
