Mine started about 3 months ago- started Aricpet- doc said it was not that- anyone else have this- is this yet another Parksinsons issue? If so, how did you treat this? Very embarrassing and hard to manage. Anyone else? Thanks! Hope everyone is having a good day :)

Members responded to the question about chronic runny nose and its connection to Parkinson's disease, with many agreeing it is a recognized PD symptom, and several also pointing to Aricept as a likely trigger. Several members shared practical remedies that helped them, including saline nasal spray, Flonase, Zyrtec, ipatroprium nasal spray, Vicks, a neti pot, humidifiers, and nasal breathing exercises. A recurring theme was the frustration of managing yet another PD-related symptom, along with encouragement to experiment with solutions and advocate for yourself with your care team.

My excessive runny nose started with my dry eyes and eye drops. My ophthalmologist told me after inserting the drops, close your eyes, tilt your head forward and put light pressure in the corner of your eyes by your nose, wait 1 to 2 minutes with your eyes closed. This will allow the drops to start working and not get in your nasal passages. IT WORKED for my runny nose.
