Experiences with

Artane

Artane, from its description, would appear to be of great benefit to those PWPs who are developing poor muscle control, like me, in just trying to walk. Legs are getting weaker and weaker even though I do exercise on an elliptical, rowing machine and recumbent bike.

Hi all, I was recently prescribed this med , read a lot of 'horror stories' about it , but for me it seems to have a tangible effect , anyone else think this med is ok ?

Someone in the forum mentioned Artane. Can you please tell me something about your experience with it?

Hi all, does anyone have experience with Trihexyphenidyl for parkinson's tremor? My dr wants me to try it as my tremors (full-on shakes more like!) are not responding to c/l. Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone here is using Artane for their Cervical Dystonia? If yes, is it working to stop head pulling & twisting & what is your dose? Cheers, Erin

Movement Specialist recommened Artane. I was wondering if I could have some feedback on people who have tried it. Or, whatever anyone thinks of it. Thank you.

Having problems with dyskinesia, bad leg and foot cramps, will be seeing a new neurologist in October, that would make 3 total, first doc gave me artane back in 2016 caused severe side effects, ended up hospitalized for 3 months.

He recently had me try Artane, and after taking 1/2 tablet 2x a day after only one week this is the best I’ve felt in over a year. I’m not sure what to make if this?

In the past I was on Mirapex, artane, ropirinole, neuropatch, amantadine, selegiline and few others but I had to quit because my general health got worst with side effects more than the PD. These episodes have increased and been frequent in the past two years.

Is anyone taking trihexyphenidyl (artane) for secondary (post stroke) generalised dystonia? Does it help? Or not? Thank you very much

Also do a small dose of trihexiphenidyl (artane) and propranalol as needed for overall shakiness and anxiety. I guess I am here because I am scared and upset. We finally had the darn neck sort of under control then the eyes start going bad. Boo.

PHas anyone taken the drugs Artane or Parsitan for tremors and stiffness. I have not been successful with Artane and waiting on getting Paristan from Canada. I live in US and have found no relief and can't take Sinemet. It's been 3 years and now I can barely walk. I'm 66. Life is miserable.

I have been in different drugs since then (mirapex,amantadine,neuropropatch,artane, ropirinole,neurontin,selegiline,bupropion, sinemet) sometimes three or more of them at same time in addition to natural supplements.

I am using Sinemet with Artane, but not the same as I got in Cambodia, However, It has not given me the same relief. What can I expect as my condition worsens. It’s now affecting my mental presses. Particularly my memory, my speech and I get confused and cannot handle my stress levels.

Anyone take artane for tremor? And does it help

Opinions for tremor

I was just started on Artane. Tell me what to expect. Thanks

HI,every one i have been with this parkinsons disease from past ten years now iam on sinmet 50mg daily 100mg sinmet cr ,symetryl for diskenysia artane,vitamin b3,omega3,ativan for anxiety few months ago istarted having severe back pain which is unbearable ,i took tilcotil penadol,ibrufin,voltaran,etc

Also, the PD meds backfired when I tried them (Sinemet, Artane, I forget what all). Same thing when I tried neurontin and lyrica. I feel completely hopeless. If I didn't have to walk the dog I'm afraid I wouldn't get out of bed. That won't do.

In recent days it was Artane.
