Side effects - I am on the apomorhine pump. Within an hour my nose is streaming - I get a horrendously choking cough. Anyone the same?

Having scoured lots of web sites I found only one reference to apomorphine causing excessive catarrh. In response I have been prescribed an incontinence drug which sometimes has a side effect of 'drying you up'. So - I have to be aware that this can aggravate constipation and dehydration. SO I am taking one drug hoping that it's side effects target the side effects of another bearing in mind that it,too, may cause unwanted side effects !

Yes, I suspect allergy - but I'm surprised that I am kept on it - especially on such a small dose and for what I have to admit not as impressive results as I had hoped for.

crazy! I just took myself off Lizness because it causes the very abdominal pain I want to get rid of. Doctors are more interested in treating my constipation than my pain. 2 separate problems, docs!
