      Cogentin for tremors

      By Drummergirl · Posted

      Years ago I was rx'd Cogentin by the second Nuero. I was already taking a low dose of Carbo/Levo when he started me on Cogentin. We couldn't determine its effectiveness due to the other meds, so I discontinued taking a med w//o a known benefit. The second Neuro said if I had seen him first he would have started with Cogentin. His past patients had success using it early on.

      Akathesia, is this present in your off?

      By Drummergirl · Posted

      I don't "sway" or rock when seated, there is still a movement tho,  it goes to my feet and doesn't include my upper body. This may be a me thing because my tremors are in the legs, not arms. Thanks Sherrie for the info.

      CBD Oil

      By Drummergirl · Posted

      I use CBD oil for sleep. I have had more success with it, then not. I can't say it works consistently.  Like tonight, but worth trying. As far as tremor reduction; yes, if tremor is bought on due to stress, anxiousness rather then just "off time". But not so, if used in place of C/L.

      Where to get the best quality of Mucuna puriens?

      Marle222, Are you or had you been seen and treated by a Lyme's specialist before PD diagnosis?

      Where to get the best quality of Mucuna puriens?

      By Marle222 · Posted

      No answer in one year. I have been taking Weyland brand 15 grams in the morning for 5 days. I have seen a dramatic reduction in Tremors for the entire day without nearly as many side effects as I experienced with sinemet / 12 days. I'm a newbie. All of this seems to have been brought on by Lyme disease nearly 5 years ago. It took this long to get a diagnosis and this was my first attempt at medication. So far so good but I still have far more questions than I've been able to find answers.
