Withdrawal signs?

[kaypeeoh]

Convergence is when your eyes don't focus together. For me one eye sees directly ahead while the other eye sees several yards to the left. I stopped Rytary two weeks ago and the convergence problem has subsided. But the other sign--constipation--has not. I've had headache constantly as well. I don't have any other signs. No stiffness or slowness. I've been on Rytary for a year. How long for the withdrawal signs to quit?

Don't know about withdrawal, but chia pulls liquid into the colon for constipation. Could make chia pudding 😋

We’ve just recently discovered the same! Interesting, didn’t realize that chia pulls liquid into the colon.

Our breakfast consists of chia seeds, sunflower seeds, linseeds, pepitas and fruit (bananas, nectarines, blueberries, raspberries) mixed together with soy or almond milk and a teaspoon of honey. Delicious too!

In the beginning B1 solved my husband’s constipation, but after a couple of years the constipation returned.

I think, for me at least, constipation can cause headaches.

I think for me everything causes headaches.

The last page of PD signs in wikki:

Neuro-ophthalmological

PD is related to different ophthalmological abnormalities produced by the neurological changes.[1][27] Among them are:

Decreased blink rate[1]

Irritation of the eye surface[1]

Alteration in the tear film[1]

Visual hallucinations[1]

Decreased eye convergence[1]

Blepharospasm[1]

Abnormalities in ocular pursuit, ocular fixation[28] and saccadic movements[1]

Difficulties opening the eyelids[1] This can have particular relevance when driving. People with Parkinson's have been shown to be less accurate in spotting landmarks and roadsigns whilst driving.[29]

Limitations in upward gaze[1]

Blurred vision[27]

Diplopia (double vision), produced by a reduced eye convergence.[27]

I've got all of them except Visual hallucinations.
