- Here are all the medications that I take for my Parkinson's treatment. Seems like a lot to keep track of, doesn't? But keep track of them I do. Share this journey with me as I review what a possible Parkinson's treatment plan could look like.

You are over medicated
Yes, my medication has been reduced since that video came out.😀😊😁
I've been on my depression med since 2014 and my sleeping med since 2004....I don't ever want to get off them. They have made a huge difference in my life.
Yes, I don't want to get rid of David's little helpers either lol
Wow! What a list! I feel lucky to only take 3 medications. Thx for sharing, David!
I WATCH THE YOU TUBE FOR U TOO !
I watch Jeremy as well.
No problem Jeremy.
@@Psalms1918 Thank you!
I'm taking B1 100m 2time a week injection
Hi Dean, is it working out well for you?
Sorry to interrupt i take one benfotiamine a day with b complex and mag l threonate and omega 3 ,i dont take levodopa my left army gets shakey but apart from that im good does b1 injection work well?
Thanks for sharing. I was Dx in 2019 at 57 .I first started taking sertraline for depression. I believe depression was one of my first symptoms of Parkinson's. This also helped with my sleeping at night time. I had issues with staying asleep, I would wake up almost every hour
Next as my motor functions got a little worse, I started taking slegeline a MBO inhibitor that slows down something in my brain that attacks my dopamine. Next came the C/L. ½ a pill three times a day and six months later moved of to one pill six three times a day.
Hi Rick, thanks for sharing that. It's interesting how quickly our med count can go up sometimes based on symptom progression. Hopefully you're at a stage now where things stabilize a bit and you can have some peace. Thanks for the breakdown on your meds.😀😁
Hi David, thanks for your explanation and insight into the many medications that you take on a daily basis. As you mentioned, there is no specific test to confirm a Parkinson's diagnosis. My neurologist did a panel of blood and urine tests, plus an MRI of my brain, in order to ELIMINATE any other possible causes of my Parkinson's symptoms. I, too, take antidepressants as part of my treatment--Zoloft/sertraline for depression and Cymbalta/duloxatine for nerve pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. It's such a blessing to find drug combinations that actually work and don't cause terrible side effects!
Hi Jeannine. I went through a huge amount of blood tests, two MRI's and and bunch of other stuff to rule out other problems until they settled on PD, which is obvious now. I agree, once you find your pill combo gotta stick with it.😀😁😀
Carbidopa is for nausea, I think they can adjust.
Thanks!😊😁😀
I’m interested in the research on low-dose lithium they are doing at Buffalo I was wondering whether you tried this?
Hi Seb. Haven't hear of that, but will check it out.
I'm following a couple non invasive treatments at this like that vibrating glove for Parkinson's.
Another awesome video ❤ lots of good info. I am at the max with my leva dopa. My dosage: 2.5 sinimet 1 entacopone @5:40am, then basically every 2-2.5hrs x7 per day. Every other dose I take 3 sinimet. Then at bedtime, 2cr, and 2 mirtazapine. Dbs in the future I think.
You're very active also which tends to burn through the meds quickly but I know what you mean. Not much room to increase.
@@LifewithParkinsons absolutely!! Dude at work 10 steps in 4 hrs
very nice to see a detailed breakdown. Its nice to see what works for others. I find escitaloprám in the morning made me groggy and slow since then iv been taking it at bedtime with much better results
Glad the video was helpful thank you for sharing 😊
THANKS FOR TAKING TIME TO SHARE SOME TIME I'LL COMMENT LONGER [ MY NAME BARRY USING WIFE;S COMPUTER
Thanks Barry, sounds good.
Thanks for the video..
You're Welcome Nelson. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time say hello😀😊
Wow completely taking away one of your meds that works . Sorry to hear that .
Got a question about the garden . How did it do on stomach acid ? Was it a bad year for the garden ? Haha
You already heard my 1st week story of meds . Noticed worse shakes a few times and worse leg pains at night . Nothing positive so far . Have a great weekend
Hi Jerry sorry to hear about your first week on meds. Was hoping for more positive results. Yeah the distributor is discontinuing the movapo pen. Hoping the replacement is good. The garden was ok. It was just stomach acid but it was worth it in the end. Just got a lot of strange looks.
Yeah I sent him a message about meds , and also questioning where things stand , and me researching stuff that has parkinson symptoms ( parkinsonism ) . Seen a few I worry about the PSP was the 1st one , Wilson disease ( dealt with alot of copper with hvac ) . MSA ( dr I seen when I was paralyzed 23 years ago , that was his legacy MSA . He was the Jerry Lewis of MSA apparently ) those are a few I wonder about from what I read and did for a living.
@@jerrym1070 Oh my goodness Jerry, that sounds like almost too much to keep track of.
My brain is like a beehive
Have u tried Rytary?
I have not tried Rytary, my MDS said it would not work for my pill setup.😀😁😊
I am trying B1 with.
Hi James please let me know how it goes. Thank you. 😊😎😀
Have u tried stalevo?
Hi Al. Never heard of it what is it?
@@LifewithParkinsons it's 3 combination parkinson medicine, I m on last 5 years. I tried sinemet and etc. No use they for me. I recommending. Consult with your doctor. Stalevo C Dopa Ldopa and entac. In. One tablet
@@altunga8849 Thanks for the info, will look it up.
Well I take the giant bottles too and definitely got sick in the beginning I also take the Escilatopram ha ha 🤣 and others
But I now have Lewy Body Dementia which I'm not on anything for that yet. Parkinson's is a disease that just keeps giving but I'm glad I have the tools to put in my basket 🧺 🙂👍 to keep me going
Hi Tory, sounds like our medication plans are similar. Good, I don't feel like I'm taking ALL of the pills. Others can have some too. 😀😁😀
Hopefully they find something that helps with the Lewy Body. Don't know much about it.
@@LifewithParkinsons Glad to be buddies in the pill 💊 department 🤣 there's patches and pills for the Lewy to help slow it down some but that's all there is for now. There's supposed to be a biologic for Alzheimer's that's newly out.
@@toryberch The sooner they bring out the biologic the better.
@@LifewithParkinsons Yep 👍 otherwise my brain is going to shrink to look like a prune 🤣🤣
