Trihexyphenidyl medication for PD

Hello, my husband with tremor dominant PD has been prescribed Trihexyphenidly (aka Artane, Trihexane and Tritane) by his neurologists to try and reduce his tremors. He is currently on Madopar and its not really helping. Does anyone have any experience with this drug? Many thanks.

What to try next?

He is now offering a choice between trying Artane, or a Neupro (dopamine agonist) patch, perhaps left on only during the day, or commencing low dose Madopar. Does the community have thoughts on this?

Artane

I was on Artane [Trihexyphenidyl ] for stiffness and within 2 weeks of taking it I had severe hallucinations , I thought the doctor would of decreased my dosage , but she increased it. I really wish I did not do that. It was a mistake and it took some time to get over it.

Health update

I take the max dose of artane each day and I stoll need a cane to walk, move, and help to stand up. I will most likely going to have DBS surgery. If this helps, as your Neurologist about this. If they give you crap for this idea, ask them to read my post. And let them read it.

Why Was Artane Discontinued in the US?

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.

Does Artane work for anyone?

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

Artane anyone?

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.

Relief from Artane but none with Sinemet

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?

Looking for relief on shuffling and freezing during off periods. These symptoms are driving me nuts....

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.

New here.

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.

Artane and Parsitan for tremors

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.

Have someone a natural alternative to mitigate the off periods on PD?

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.

Parkinson’s

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.
