I have recently had some success in treating familial
BET (an elderly mother and her son, as it happens)
with primidone (Mysoline).
I started with a tiny dose. 1ml of 250/5 syrup and
increased the dose by 1ml (50mg) every 2-3 days.
Gradually the tremor became much more manageable.
The mother got up to the maximum dose, then I switched
her over to tablets.
The son is slowly increasing the dose ATM.
HTH.
