I had tremors with this....I remember crying because it looked so pitiful to try to eat a taco. I know hope is a really hard thing to come by with this medicine because everything is so slow and you just can't see the end of it. Tell your grandmother that as long as she is tapering off, things will get back to normal, but it will take all the patience you can muster. It takes a long long time. I don't remember the tremors taking a very long time to go, but everything else took months. I finally took a vacation 6 months after I was off of it....I went for a horseback ride and I was still too weak to get on the horse myself, and I still remember being embarrassed about my puffed up face. So seriously, It probably took a year for all symptoms to go away. I know this may not help, all you can do is take one day at a time and things get better so slow that you hardly notice. You have to compare this month to last month, instead of today versus yesterday. I hope this helps. This is the scariest medication on earth. I'd rather take chemotherapy (I think, I've never had it, but it can't be any worse) You got to be tough, tough, tough. I guess getting old is not for sissies.
