My husband just started taking it. Just small dose, 1 pill twice a day. I do think it has reduced his tremors and he may be sleeping better. Waiting to see before judging.

I started Crexont 10/20/24. The NP calls every few days and makes adjustments. So far its ok but it is not easy going from taking 1 pill every three hours to 1 capsule every 5-6 hours.
I worry a bit about what hospitals will do about it - will they us bring our own (might have to sign a waver but my insurance has approved it and the doctors office has given me two 180 pill samples so far

He has seen less tremors, increasing dosage to 2 twice a day. Hasn't helped with sleep. Not sure what to do about that.

Thank you! I hope it works well for him. I haven’t started but will update when I do.
