Dopamine med or something else?
I've read that professionals are leaning more and more away from dopamine agonists because of augmentation and other side effects and swaying towards other medications as a first line treatment. I've seen that low doses of opiods are frequently used but isn't there risk of addiction and extreme withdrawals

Have you considered DBS? It is recommended for people with midstage PD who for whom meds are no longer working well!
Don't wait too long to get DBS--' if you're Parkinson's gets too severe it won't work as well . Also you might not get accepted into a program - if Sinemet stops working entirely you won't be able to find a program that will take you! There are surgeons around that can do DBS on you when you are asleep

I experience REALLY bad nights about once or twice a week when I take 2 co-codamol 30/500 which work brilliantly. In between I wearily soldier on because I fear I could become addicted if I take them more than this amount. If I felt confident that addiction was unlikely by taking them say every other

Relapse
Hi there. I relapsed a days ago. I blew a 2 mth quit through too much alcohol. However, after smoking a couple of roll ups when sober I realised just how evil these things taste. I also did not feel well after the dopamine injection that cigs give you, rather I felt on edge, and anxious. After 25 years

Knowledge is Power: understanding our medications.
Since having PD I have become just a little obsessed with reading and understanding all I can about it and this is a bit of what I have learned. I hope it is useful to somebody. I was going to put some of this in a reply post but it is general information. It is not meant to be advice about your

wellbutrin (bupropion) potential problems
I got interested in Wellbutrin because it increases dopamine and norepinephrine. It's used a fair amount in PD for psychiatric problems (depression, panic attack obsessiveness, and lack of desire), but there are an uncomfortable number reports of it causing parkinson's symptoms. I think this is likely

Functional Neurology
A while back I posted a question, “Does anybody else use functional neurology as a treatment program?” I did not hear from anybody that does, but many responses asking me what it’s about. So I will try to explain my experience with functional neurology in very layman’s terms. I was referred to a functional

Hypothyroidism & Dopamine Deficiency?
Hi everyone! I was wondering if anybody had had any personal experiences with the combination of conditions mentioned above? I was diagnosed as Hypo in Sept '14 (not Hashi) and thyroxine (now up to 125mcg) has 'balanced' my levels but not done much for me. Given the results of my recent gene tests

Have you ever suffered a dopamine agonist trigger persistent OH? (orthostatic hypotension: low blood pressure / dizzyness upon standing)
After 2 weeks of a low dosage of a dopamine agonist, I got OH - I suddenly became unable to stand for more than a few seconds without fainting. When this first occurred I actually did pass out as a result of attempting to remain standing. Needless to say, I immediately quit the dopamine agonist, but
