Too Much D1...anyone? The untold (?) story behind augmentation
Let me preface (what's going to be an incredibly long post) with the fact that I know nothing about dopamine agonists or augmentation, except that the suffering it causes is more than I can bare. So first off, congrats to Kaarina, Jools, Elisse, Madlegs, Manerva and all those on here who tirelessly

Neupro patch: cut or fold to lower dose?
Can the Neupro patch be cut or folded in half? I am prescribed 2mg/24hr but can only find 3mg patches. I'm looking for a work-around for a few days. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sharing DBS Journey
Hi, Just wanted to share my dad's process in case it will help anyone... He was diagnosed at 54 years old and will be 70 next month. He is rigidity dominant, experiences freezing of gait (mainly in initiating) and has dyskinesias from his meds (among many other PD symptoms!). Up until almost two years

Mannitol and B1: What’s going on?
Last September, my hwp for 16 years, started mannitol. Over the next months, this gradually allowed him to reduce his dopamine meds, first eliminating the Neupro patch, then gradually eliminating Rytary. He has cognitive impairment and too much of those 2 meds would cause hallucinations. But dialing

Dyskinesia
I’ve been on Rytary 23.75 for three years. Neupro patch 8mg. I have just begin to have dyskinesia. I was thinking I would decrease Rytary and see if helped. Anyone have suggestions for me?

Dopamine agonists or levodopa?
I am 53 and was diagnosed PD 8 years . I am currently on 1/2 spoon of Zandopa and 1/4 Sinemet, 4 times a day. The medication only lasts for about 2 hours, so each day has been a hell for me. I am currently deciding on whether I should go with dopamine agonists first, or I should add more zandopa/ Macuna

Weaning off Neupro 1mg - Tips?
I’m contemplating weaning off Neupro 1mg in the next 6 months. Does anyone have guidance on how to cut up the patch for a safe taper and a schedule to follow? I take Gabapentin as a PRN for anxiety and am hoping that med would be enough for my RLS. Anyone have experience making this transition?

Stable on 2mg Neupro
Now on 2 mg Neupro (3 mg caused burns and blisters). And 0.125 pramipexole. This seems to be working at the time and taking Gabapentin 1800 mg will change to lyrica next week or 2. The plan was to discontinue Neupro but no problems now!

Anxiety, Dopamine and Serotonin

Too much dopamine
I am on the 8mg neupro patch and take Rytary 195 in the am 195 at noon and 145 at night. My Dr says I can increase it when I feel the need to. Does anyone do this and how do you know you have too much.

How often can I receive another Iron infusion?
Received my first iron infusion in Nov. 2020. Started to work at the end of Feb. 2021. Was able to wean off to a half patch of neupro a day by end of March. Was taking 1mg of neupro daily before the infusion for 4 years. Thanks Jim

Neupro withdrawal syndrome
I've been taking Neupro 1mg patches daily for about 2.5 years for RLS. It managed my RSL symptoms effectively. Three months ago I had some issues getting a refill from my neurologist and very regretfully I went 5 days without the medicine. I suffered major withdrawal symptoms including anxiety, depression

RLS and now apnea
I've had RLS for over 5 decades now, and have survived by changing drugs when each one has become ineffective. The latest drug--a semi-opioid called buprenorphine--has been the best! However, I now have central sleep apnea greatly interfering with sleep. I wake up tired and am tired throughout the day
