Primidone should be taken at approximately the same time every night. If a daily dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, the missed dose should be skipped.
Primidone is thought to decrease abnormal activity within the brain that may trigger seizures.
In the United States, primidone is also sold under the names Myidone and Mysoline.
The maximum daily dose for anyone taking primidone usually is not greater than 2000 mg.

Primidone is supplied in chewable tablets (in Canada), tablets to be swallowed whole, and in suspension (syrup) forms for oral administration.
The active metabolites of primidone are phenobarbital and phenylmethylmalonamide (PEMA), both barbiturate-type compounds with anticonvulsant and sedative properties.
Children under eight years of age typically take an initial daily dose of 50 mg.

I have tremors so bad sometimes that I need help staninding up. Is it normal to use primidone for this kind of tremors?
Primidone may have negative interactions with adrenocorticoids (cortisone-like medications), antibiotics, antidepressants, anticoagulants, antihistimines, asthma medications, barbituates, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
