Meds are a funny thing. On one hand they will undoubtedly help cure or at least help in some way shape or form, all that ails you. On the other hand, the side effects of that medication can range from something quite minor like nausea or a slight headache to something serious like dyskenesia, uncontrolled movements, to constipation to serious illness.
I had noticed for a few days that if I forgot to take my prolopa, the new drug my doctor put me on, I did not experience the usual increase in my Parkinson's symptoms and that I didn't feel to bad. I have tried in the past to go with the implants only without a lot of success, but I have not gone off of prolopa before even though the side effects have become more noticeable. Like I said earlier, I haven't felt to bad when I have missed taking prolopa, so I thought I try going with Amantadine only.. It has been three days since I quit taking prolopa and I feel good, at least as good as can be expected. I will be on Amantadine till the day I die because the drug is very addictive and it is suppose to help cognitive functions, so it cant be all bad.
So until something changes it will be me, the implants and no artificial dopamine. Scary thought but one that might just work out in the long run.
Later.
