Hello mohit, 1. You have mentioned that you have Essential tremors, the basis of diagnosis is not clear. But let us presume you do have it. 2. firstly it cannot be cured and will not diappear, but it can be effectively controlled. 3. There is nothing to be embarassed because of the tremors. The best thing is to tell the people around you that you have "tremor problem " and there is no need for the people around you to be worried. The people do understand and are supportive. 4. You can stop Pacitane. The first thing to do is take Tab Proprai nolol 40 mg SOS, that is to say that when you are meeting people or situations where the tremors increase you can take this medicine 1/2 an hour before. You can take upto 2-3 tab /day. But there is no point in taking it continuously and you should stick to SOS need. 5. But all this swhile i am presuming you have Essential tremors. You have not mentioned any features of your tremors etc. I hope some qualified doctor has diagnosed this , else we may miss out some other disease
