I am not convinced that I have PD. Could anyone tell me if they have had any of these experiences?

MY Dr prescribed Apokyn shots for when this happen. Does anyone take Rytary and it makes your mind so anxious you can hardly stand the anxious feeling that you get?

Back to my leg pain issue

Laurie Mischley suggested I might want to try Apokyn first thing in the AM. Not sure I can afford it but I'm wondering if anyone has tried this. I use magnesium oil and it helps a little for a short while, but not a solution. I also take magnesium supplements.

Is anyone taking Apokyn for Off episodes that occur with Parkinson's disease?

Would like to know if anyone in this forum is taking Apokyn . Apokyn is used to help prevent Parkinson's symptoms during Off periods when the Sinemet has worn off. p

How does Apokyn help PD?

I see it's apomorphine. I've used apomorphine in my veterinary practice for nearly 40 years. It's my drug of choice for poisoning cases. I get it in 5mg tabs. For a dog who ate a large bag of Halloween chocolate kisses I'd press one tab under the upper eyelid. It gets into the blood stream as

Anyone taking Apokyn?

I am investigating Apokyn and trying to get a reasonable copay. I'd love to hear from others about their experience with this drug. Thank you in advance, Layne

Tremor dominate and freezing... Does anyone have issues with tremors that turn into an off frozen state?

I usually have to have an APOKYN injection to be able to move well again' It feels like a panic attack but I am not sure. I can someone explain what is involved in freezing in Parkinson's? what are the actual physical symptoms? I thought I knew but I am now confused. Thank you....

Can Rytary make your anxiety worse or not work at all? Does anyone else suffer from severe anxiety? Experienced Dystonic type attacks?

Now my attacks have gotten so bad that i often have to have shots of Apokyn to make the Rytary work. The Apokyn makes me feel like i am going to throw up, clammy and sweaty and at times makes the room spin.

Just started taking Apokyn for Parkinson's Disease. Anyone else taking this drug or heard about it?

I just stated taking injections of a drug called Apokyn. It is a filler for when my Rytary doesn't work to get me from an "off" period to my next Rytary dosage. Anyone else taking this drug or heard of it? https://www.apokyn.com

Apokyn Pump

I am due to be fitted with a pump for administering Apomorphine (ApoGo) but I am unsure about potential pitfalls & also the potential benefits. Is there anyone out there who has tried the pump? If so would you be prepared to share your experiences with me? I like to go into new situations as fully prepared
