Feel intoxicated in the evening

[Joynb]

I was diagnosed 6 years ago, non-tremor. My medication is:

Levodopa 100mg 4:30 am

Stalevo 125mg 7,9,12,3

Stalevo 100mg 6pm

Sifrol 1.5mg 10pm

Levidopa CR 200mg 11pm

I get through the day ok, but every evening I feel sleepy, dull, intoxicated without the benefit of alcohol and slow to move.

Any suggestions?

Also, last night I went to sleep without the 11pm medication and woke at 1am in the midst of a horrible visual and auditory hallucination.

I get really tired after 5 pm and have a hard time getting up from my chair then shuffle till I can walk sometime staggering left or right. I also have no tremor just very stiff.

Joynb and Sugarbear67,

If suppers are your biggest meals, you might consider postprandial hypotension pph and orthostatic hypotension. Within those two categories, there is a subgroup who react excessively to foods, thereby inducing blood pressure anomalies in the brain. Search HU PD for more info.

Do you have Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy, or pure autonomic failure?

Do you experience dizziness, light-headedness or feeling faint upon standing?

Sorry, you say it like it's a bad thing. ??? You do realize a lot of people pay very big money to feel like that.

More like a hangover.
