Same as PD but non responsive to Dopamine. CAN be one of the Parkinson’s ‘plus’ syndromes😕

If aytypical parkinson patients are non responsive to levadopa would they be responsive to dopamine agonists like trivastal??

I’d say so yes certainly from personal experience. I’m a non-responder to Levadopa myself but remain on Azilect and Requip both of which have always been very helpful. Good luck

There are several atypical Parkinson's diseases, all of them progressive and many times they move much faster than Parkinson's itself. They share some symptoms but also exhibit others, some affect mental faculties more than others. Look up PSP, MSA, and Luey body dementia. there is a MSA board on here as well as PSP.
