Haldol Injection for Parkinsons Patient!!! PART 1
Can't find a sufficient word to express the magnitude of the horror I am now living. I already HAD drug induced Parkinsons diagnosed in 2006.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1924754/ This 2006 article talks about augmentation and tolerance. It goes on to state that augmentation was rearing its ugly head in 1996 and was very clear to doctors in the field of RLS exactly what was happening to their patients on the dopamine agonists

Trouble with Sinemet dosing
Diagnosed with tremor intensive PD 2001. Started Sinemet end 2012, 3x100mg /d as I was getting weaker. I sailed along OK for about one year, then suddenly one to two hours after taking a dose I would go into almost a convulsion like state with intense tremor and weakness. I learned that I was not allergic

This is info for those in the UK, who may be taking Motilium10 for nausea.
Anyone who is taking these and you are worried, i would contact your doctor and have a chat with them. I have noticed these pills are a dopamine antagonist. Altho when i have taken them, it hasnt made any difference to my RLS. http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Safetyinformation/DrugSafetyUpdate/CON418518

What do MAO-b Inhibitors do for us that no other type of Pd medication can do?
I am not a doctor, nor do I have any form of medical training. However! I do have a lot of experience on this subject! I was prescribed a single medication, back in 1992, when I was first diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. That was the only medication I took for ten years. I now no longer need to take
