Medicines that make me crazy.

[Bailey_Texas]

The meds that i have the most and worse side effects are,

Entacapone, extended release Carbidopa Levodopa, and Rytary (this is the first med that did this to me), Rytary was great i felt like i was 18. It was about 2 or three months into taking Rytary i started having these side effects.

These drugs causes depression. paranoia, i loose the ability to speak I can only say jibberish. I can read out loud anything and if i want to say something i have to write it down and read it. I can read out loud any printed word.

Azilect

I took this med for 8 or 9 years. I started having nightly break downs that included

Crying paranoia, anger, depression,and muscle spasms. This would go on for 30 minutes to 4 hours. I felt that it was a drug or a combination of drugs. So i stopped all meds and restarted them back one at a time leaving Azilect to restart last. I never restarted azilect and all my night time problems went away. So i concluded that it was Azilect was the problem.

That is my mom little sister and my older brother. The little boy is me in Dallas, Texas in 1957.

Bailey Texas,

Tell me if I’m wrong but i thought I read a reply where you Indicated

that you had had DBS surgery at one time. Can you tell us how long ago it was and in

what ways and how much it has helped? If I im mixing you up with someone else I truly apologize .

Thank you!!!

I love those pics Bailey. They remind me of growing up in Wisconsin. At one point I was blaming my dyskinesia on Azelect and withdrew it. After a few days I started to have a tremor, which I hardly ever have, and then I got so I couldn't walk. So I went back on it again. Maybe it contributes to my dry mouth, I don't know. My dyskinesias are now controlled with Amantadine. Anyway, we are all different in the way our meds affect us.
