Steroids to treat Parkinson's
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2018, and recently I started having dystonia most of the day. I had been taking 2 tablets of Carbidopa.Levidopa 25-100 every 5 hours. At first, it helped me, but not now. It seemed the drug helped for about an hour then I would have the shaking and dystonia again.

Has anybody had success reducing drooling? Also has anybody had success gaining weight. I am down to 97 pounds and I am 5 foot seven
I have started amantadine recently. It is the only drug I am on. My drawing increase significantly and I have lost even more weight. Does anybody have any success reducing drooling and gaining weight.

Sudden loss of ability to move?
Hello all, I haven't been posting much. But I'd appreciate your advice. On Friday, my husband was going about his day, had driven to the grocery pickup, got home, and then started to have small hallucinations (ants that weren't there) and vomited. He texted for me to come home from work, and in the

Amantadine : is it Neuroprotective? Can it reduce glutamate excitoxicity?
Anyone taking amantadine? It may be slowing progression. Looking in to means of reducing glutamate excitoxicity which is shown to increase decline, I happened upon the knowledge that Amantadine, is a NMDA receptor antagonist. What I have read so far suggests that Amantadine is indeed Neuroprotective

Any advice about weaning off of levodopa and starting amantadine.
I have developed dyskinesia and doctors tried reducing levodopa thinking I was getting too much but dyskinesia persisted.

COVID brain impact similar to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

HOW CAN I REDUCE MY DYSKINESIA?
I am desperate for suggestions on reducing dyskinesia. I have had gate and balance dominant PD for 11 years now and have always struggled with dyskinesia.

Treatment with amantadine delays L-dopa-induced dyskinesia onset more than treatment with other symptomatic agents
Could early treatment with amantadine delay L-dopa-induced dyskinesia onset more than treatment with other symptomatic agents (anticholinergics or MAO-B inhibitors)? New data from a hospital-based retrospective cohort study from Taiwan suggests 'yes' https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ene.15234

Oral Molecule PD13R Safely Eases Dyskinesia Tied to Levodopa in Primate Model

I am newly diagnosed and on amantadine 2x daily. I notice I feel much more tired on a daily basis than I used to. I take 1 -2 naps a day.
Is this a symptom of PD, the medication, both or neither?

AMANTADINE FOR DYSKINESIA. HAVE YOU AN EXPERIENCE WITH THIS DRUG? PLEASE HELP.
Hi, I might consider this drug for Dyskinesia, if it gets too severe. My MDS is a little reluctant to prescribe it, because he says it may cause insomnia. Nevertheless, is this drug working for your dyskinesia? How long before it started working for you? My doctor said it could take 4 to 8 weeks.

What I have learned from 1 year with Early Onset PD - "Glass Half Full"
I decided to keep a journal of my journey - it has been quite a year but I have learned a lot. some of which maybe relevant for new and older PD people. I am not a doctor and this is not a medical opinion but there is lots available to make a stand against PD https://fightparkinsonsdisease.files.wordpress.com
