Morning help?

In the morning and up till Noon or so, I experience what I call a brain fog/storm, anxiety increased, etc. Is it from low dopamine when i awake at 6:30? Some symptoms improve 30/45 minutes after i take meds, but the other can last until after second dose at 11/12.

That is a pretty accurate description of how I feel in the morning. I take my meds and then wait but sometimes they don't really seem to kick in until I take the second dose. I suppose I should be taking a little more when I first wake up. Yes, life looks mighty grim first thing in the morning.

Sounds like you appreciate this is one of your ‘off’ signs. That’s a good step. Now, your neurologist might be able to prescribe a faster acting addition to your morning media’s to get you out of that low spot.

My husband has an apomorphine preparation first thing and a regular dispersible Madopar with his Sinemet. Perhaps your neurologist could help with some extra medication and ideas.

Not what you're looking for?
