I take Madopar rapid for my RLS. But every 6 months I have to take a 2 week break. Initially I was prescribed Paxam but have to take so many that I am like a zombie the following day. I've recently been prescribed Pregabalin for these breaks, but the effects are worse - I have difficulty waking & the

Anyone know how long the waiting list is for DBS at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London?
Hi everyone, hope you are all okay. I had my consultation this week. I was told that the only option for me was DBS as medication is not working. Next step is to meet with the DBS Team at Queen Square. I am now left in a situation where I am simply trying to manage this rather precarious situation

2 x Madopar CR, 100mg taken 11pm tonight - ambulance called at 2am? Why did this happen?
I am not sleeping well at the moment. My GP suggested that I try 2 x Madopar CR for bedtime dose to see if that helped. I took them at about 11:30pm (I also had Baclofen in my system to calm painful leg dystonia). I fell asleep. I woke at about 2am this morning and felt a bit weird, like my blood

madopar patches
B's condition is deteriorating at the moment and swallowing has become very difficult for him. He has a feeding PEG and I am going to ask for his medication to be in some other form than tablets. But I keep getting conflicting advice from his doctors regarding Madopar patches. Can anyone tell me how

Drugs for Parkinson's- how do you spell their names?
This is not really a question, more an attempt to answer it. I have noticed many different spellings being used, and I bought a book about Parkinson's which includes drug names. The most commonly used drugs seem to be Madopar Sinemet Mirapexin also known as pramipexole Requip

DR B REPLIES....... NEUROLOGISTS OUTCOME
From Dr B.... Unfortunately, the top neurologist who you saw is clearly not a top RLS specialist. His advice is absolutely incorrect and as you have noted it should not be followed. You are already on a high dose of Mirapex (Mirapexin) and are developing augmentation (worsening of your RLS from

Neurologists Outcome
Well, not what I thought. After waiting 7 months to see a certain consultant. He really didn't help much. Told me my doctor could give me whatever, asked if Ihad taken the following..... then he rattled off about six different drugs I had never heard of. I said no, why not, I haven't been offered them
