Since we are based in the United States, we are not as familiar with the limits on Canadian prescriptions. That said, miralax may be available without a prescription. We'd recommend consulting with a provider familiar with the possible interactions of any medication addressing cognition. These medications can sometimes have complex relationships with other medications you might take. If you see a movement disorder specialist, they should be familiar with the risks and possible interactions.
Good to understand the reasons to stay a little longer with the mirolax. However I personally am needing more, acetylcholinesterase. I can't spare any of that action. I need that chaser to survive what the acetylcholine still does. I realize there's not some way to manufacture that to supplant it, like there's levadopa for dopamine. I would like to hear the theory of why someone thinks inhibiting acetylcholinesterase helps memory. I simply can't forget, most things, particularly what dystonia does to me. Yikes! I would not want to inhibit what little acetylcholinesterase I have left. I do care about things to help memory for loved ones who are losing it in ways that make them more vulnerable but at the expense of acetylcholinesterase? What if the inhibiting of that cannot be reversed? I just need to know. I'm extremely curious about the theory.
Can these meds be prescribed by a reg dr or do I have to go to specialist? I’m in Canada.

We'll work on finding a speaker to address your questions about memory and acetylcholine/acetylcholinesterase. Thanks, as always, for following along!
