Back on meds
I've always had difficulty believing I had PD. So 5 weeks ago I stopped taking Rytary. During the 5 weeks I had periods that led me to think I was having withdrawal symptoms. It's only been two days back on the meds but so far nothing much happening. Along with Rytary I've been taking Linzess

Atypical Parkinson’s Posture and Gait
Hi, I’m trying to find out if anyone has information about atypical Parkinson’s symptoms. I was diagnosed 6yrs ago at age 46 and my symptoms are difficulty walking (I lean backwards, my right leg turns in, my right arm flails and my face contorts) also my eyes want to close. These symptoms improve when

Rytary withdrawal?
What are the signs when you quit taking it? I stopped two weeks ago. I just wondered if I needed it. So far no PD signs: No stiffness or bradykinesia or balance problems. But I never had any signs except for a positive DAT scan. I assumed there would be withdrawal similar to withdrawal

Neck pain caused by dyskinesia.....
About 6 months ago, my dyskinesia started getting worse, and I noticed I was starting to get a lot of neck pain. I went to a neuro PT who said she thought my neck pain and stiffness were being driven by my dyskinesia and that I needed to reduce the dyskinesia before we could improve my neck. So I tried

Madopar CR v Rytary
Morning all. Just trying to get my head around the difference between these two? Also, Neurologist has me on Madopar CR during the night and immediate release during the day. I’m trying to work out what the purpose of immediate release is? Why not CR twice a day? Thanks guys 💊😀

New and current hope for Parkinson's Disease
Sorry, we didn't find She at first was told she had PD and we went through all the usual emotional grief associated. Then she was told not PD but a "Pitched nerve" and was given a block. Then she continued having dystonia to left leg. Was told to follow up with a movement specialist for possible botox

Afib has reared its ugly head again big time, for me.
After years of calm, when I only had an occasional flutter , Afib started again in April following which I had three or four episodes lasting a few hours. On Sunday I was sitting down reading and it started again, expecting it to last just the usual six of seven hours I was still in Af on Tuesday

A new symptom?
I was dx'd 3 years ago. I take Rytary. I've had a resting tremor in my dominant arm for 4 years. I have lousy handwriting, I don't have stiffness or slowness or balance problems. For the past few days I go to bed at 3AM but I wake 3 hours later. I might nap for an hour in the afternoon.

Levodopa Overmedication – Common, Unrecognized, Devastating
Dystonia – muscle tightness – is a common symptom of Parkinson's. It can also be a symptom of levodopa overmedication. The only study I could find of this phenomenon was done in 1999 and received very little notice from the medical community: http://bbs.neuro.or.kr/space/journal/1999/9904010.pdf As

Alternatives from Adalat Retard
My Grandma has been on Adalat retard 20mg for a very long time to manage her blood pressure. Since it’s been discontinued her doctors has been haphazard with finding her a new solution. She has symptoms with Nifedipress 20mg. Has anyone had a better transition from retard? If so which tablet?

Immediate-Release Versus Controlled-Released Carbidopa-Levodopa
The question of immediate release versus controlled-release carbidopa levodopa is a frequent topic here, so it is high time to have a post specifically addressing this issue. Chart source: https://www.ingentaconnect.com/contentone/ben/ccp/2007/00000002/00000003/art00006?crawler=true With reference

Feel like a fraud!
I've been restoring an old cottage and enjoying the process. About 18 months ago I noticed I was getting tired more and more easily, then I started getting minor chest-pains during some of the more physical activities such as carrying heavy materials etc. They were always minor. They always passed quickly

Hi new to af
Hi I’m 48 had a chest infection/asthma was in hospital 10 days as heart rate was high and was told it may go away but looks like it hasn’t, my mum had it same age then went on to have a massive stroke so as you can imagine I’m scared. Although I’ve been reassured medicine has come a long way since

Once daily Zemtard 120 instead of Bisoprolol
Hi everyone ... Last week I promised to give an update on possible medication changes - ref ‘Bisoprolol &my Psoriasis flare up’ . As said before I have AF and been taking Bisoprolol since last autumn. Someone recommended to speak to my GP. Both the GP and Dermatologist have suggest to change to Diltiazem

Uncontrolled AF
I was put on Rivaoxaban which is an anticoagulant last year for AF along with Zemtard. I had a routine blood test recently and because my FBC is way out and I probably have a serious bleed somewhere I now have to have an urgent colonoscopy. My GP has told me to stop taking Rivaoxaban immediately and
