  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3152172/

  Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder, and approximately 50% of the cases are inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. […] The management of a patient with ET includes (a) behavioral techniques and physical therapy, (b) medical therapy, and (c) surgical treatment. […] Not all patients with ET will need treatment with drugs. Treatment depends on the severity of tremor, the body part affected, and the occupation of the patients. […] When it is decided to start medical treatment, it can be of 2 types: Intermittent treatment: On an as-needed or scheduled basis. […] A half to 2 tablets of propranolol (20 mg) can be administered 30 min to 1 h before a social activity or the anxiety-provoking event, which increases tremor. […] However, as the benzodiazepines can cause central nervous system adverse events and also have abuse potential, they need to be administered judiciously.
