Requip

Took for two days, took Dyskinesia away, but tremors, and my legs wouldn't work very well, my right leg would give out on me. Felt body aches, forgetful and on edge. So today I just took my 1and half cardopa/levadopa with the entacopone. Dr. Wanted to know why my left side hand is curled inward and sometimes my arm will curl into my chest. I notice yesterday that when I took another half to see if I could get my tremor under control my hand curled inward as with my left foot, and the requip doesn't do that. One more trial on my self, in the morning I'm trying to stay on a three a day schedule and one ER at 8 PM. So at 5:30 am my tremors are back and usually Dystonia follows. So I'll take half muscle Half Anxiety and my tremors go away and I can walk just fine feel symptom free, I usually fall back to sleep and get up at 8 am take my pills and I fell back to sleep, husband woke me up at 10 am, to eat breakfast, which Should have been at 8:30, but felt tired so back to sleep. By calming the nervous system down helps a lot. I haven't been taking my Anxiety pills Because I was feeling better, but I did notice when on requip I would start feeling sad and crying towards the evening, mostly missing my mom she lives in Texas, she's 86 and I just want to see her more often. I think stress has me in flight mode, I've been watch Joe Dispenza videos on YouTube, I'm going to try meditation. Their is one lady that had Parkinsons and she's been following his program and is now symptom free. I would check him out, I think it's very interesting. Thanks for all your feed back.

I don’t suppose you could’ve led with feeling symptom-free after taking anxiety medicine and muscle relaxer? Please tell me more please please please? I have anxiety like any sane person diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I haven’t tried a muscle relaxer since my Parkinson’s became a problem but I remember the benefit of a muscle Relaxer when I had a back problem. I know one size doesn’t fit everybody but if you could just please share with me the names of those that you are using so I might try speaking to my doctor about them.

My tremor comes back when I start moving around.then I take pills. Muscle baclofen, anxiety clonazepam helps with sleep, as I'm sure the muscle one could be also. I didn't take any today for my Dystonia, the botox is working in my legs, even though I feel a tightness it does not hurt. The anxiety pill is addictive I would advise not using all the time, I was using twice a day as prescribed, but Now I'll only use it if I really think I need it. If we can calm down the nervous system it sure seems better. I just noticed when you worry about something my shaking gets bad. I had stressful job, and I was in flight mode for 3 years and other stress in my life, I just feel that started my Parkinsons. Don't forget about Magnesium and other natural vitamins that could help.

Have you tried using extended release instead of immediate release during the day?

My other neuro nurse practitioner said you cant do that. I change to a new dr. Close to me since he was the ER hospital dr. On call, which first diagnosed me, but I didn't care for him, he was very cold. He seems better now.
