Close Parkinson's Disease
Early onset, dx 1999 after about 5 yrs clear symptoms. Happily married, grown kids. Losing "normal" friends, getting isolated. Best friends are PD friends.
Treatments
- Comtan Working / Worked
- Have recently become more sensitive to it--makes me feel off. Cut tabs in half per neuro and that's better, but I plan to reduce more.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- For cooccurring major clinical depression the kind caused by physical lack NOT just the downinthedumps comeoverandcheermeup kind. This drug with exercise and a habit of optimism controls the clinical depression well enough.
- Ibuprofen Working / Worked
- Taken at bedtime, it helps me relax and sleep better. I alternate with Tylenol.
- Mirapex Somewhat Helpful
- Helped me for several years, but side effects of 100 lb weight gain and major FogBrain were a burden. My 3rd neuro finally took me off it, substituting Requip, a couple of years ago.
- Permax Not Working
- Took for a few months after dx. Felt like I had the flu the whole time, and it didn't help my tremor.
- Requip Working / Worked
- 15 mg a day. Does a good job against tremor and myoclonus, give me some food compulsion.
- Selegiline Not Working
- Took it for a couple of years. Much difficulty with amphetamine metabolates. This drug brought out the side effects of all other drugs. A nasty one.
- Sinemet Working / Worked
- Five 25/100 per day. Was taking smaller doses closer together until Comtan problem figured out. Starting to have dyskinesia--neuro will start amantadine when I'm ready.
