A Double-blind Placebo-controlled Trial of Topiramate Treatment for Essential Tremor
Neurol 59:132-134, Connor,G.S., 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The safety and efficacy of topiramate (400 mg/d or maximum tolerated dose) as monotherapy or adjunctive treatment of essential tremor were investigated in a placebo-controlled, crossover study (n = 24). Topiramate resulted in significantly g reater reductions from baseline based on normalized scores for a clinical rating of tremor location/severity, specific motor tasks/functional disabilities, and tremor-resultant functional disabilities. Most common adverse events were appetite suppression /weight loss and paresthesias.
