Connect with licensed healthcare providers online to evaluate your condition and receive a primidone prescription in as little as 24 hours, ensuring safe and confidential seizure or tremor treatment.
Primidone (generic Mysoline) is an FDA-approved anticonvulsant prescribed to treat various seizure types—including generalized tonic-clonic, complex partial, and focal seizures—and is also used for essential tremor. It works by reducing abnormal electrical activity in the brain.
Primidone is available as oral tablets (50 mg, 125 mg, 250 mg) and a liquid suspension (250 mg/5 mL). It is often prescribed when other medications don’t provide adequate control of seizures or tremors.
Primidone acts by calming overactive electrical signals in the brain, decreasing seizure activity and tremor severity. It enhances inhibitory signals, helping to stabilize nerve activity and prevent abnormal movements or seizures.
Primidone is prescribed for patients diagnosed with specific seizure disorders or essential tremor by a healthcare provider. It requires proper medical evaluation due to potential side effects and interactions.
Licensed providers on Klarity Health, including neurologists, nurse practitioners, and physicians with expertise in seizure management, can evaluate your condition and prescribe primidone if appropriate. Providers are independent practitioners with clinical autonomy.
Primidone dosage is individualized. Typically, it is taken multiple times a day, with doses adjusted based on response and tolerability. Your provider will determine the correct dose during your virtual consultation.
Common side effects include sedation, dizziness, cognitive effects, and bone loss. Serious risks involve dependence and respiratory depression. Always discuss risks with your provider prior to starting primidone.
Regular monitoring may be necessary, especially for long-term use. Never adjust your dose without medical guidance.
The cost for primidone varies depending on your pharmacy and insurance coverage. On Klarity, consultation fees typically range from $49 to $99, and prescriptions are sent directly after evaluation. Insurance may cover part of the cost.
Most evaluations and prescriptions are completed within 24 hours, with ongoing support available for follow-up care.

|---|---|---|---|
| Primidone | Seizures, essential tremor | Moderate–high (sedation, bone loss) | Effective but carries sedation and dependence risks; monitor regularly |
| Phenobarbital | Seizures | High (dependence, sedation) | Potent but higher risk for dependence; requires careful monitoring |
| Propranolol | Essential tremor | Low–moderate (low blood pressure) | Often preferred for tremor without seizures |
| Topiramate | Seizures, migraine, off-label tremor | Moderate (cognitive effects) | Alternative when other options are not tolerated |
