Hello, maybe there is someone who wants to share their experience with psp? What medicines did you take? What medications improved the patient's condition? What else supports the patient's condition?

It is very important to me.

Thank you in advance

hello Gijan

I’m the wife of a person with PSP. I am told by doctors that there is no medicine that can stop the progress of PSP. Some people may be given anti depressants to help with anxiety or depression associated with PSP but that’s not actually making a difference to PSPs progress.

I saw a post recently suggesting certain herbal remedies helped ease symptoms but they don’t cure or stop progress.

Trying to stay active and having physio may help a bit too

I think unfortunately the medical help will come from drugs to ease other symptoms rather than preventing PSP progressing.

Hi GIJAN!!

I agree with Sun-flowerwearer. As far as we know today there are only palliative treatments for PSP.

By internal chat I have sent you my offer to send you documents with our experiences during our trip accompanying PSP-RS.

Hug, luck and courage.

Hi I suffer with PSP and like the others who have replied there isn't any medication available to for this wretched disease. I take meds for anxiety and also take medical marijuana which I think helps with calming me down.

Good luck
