What can be done to prevent the condition?

Often, this condition can be prevented. Those with Parkinson's disease or psychosis may be given an extra medication to prevent tremors.

What are the long-term effects of the condition?

In most cases, there are no long-term effects and the tremor goes away when the medication is stopped. Permanent tremors primarily occur in people with psychosis who need many years of medication.
