i was on it i was up to 20 pills a day. i was pu on rytary it last longer now i am up to 15 on themm.

I, also was dx in June and was put on Azilect and then he doubled the dose. It has helped with me not feeling like walking in water against a current. Still have a host of other symptoms but see my dr next wk.

Different names in different countries.

Does anyone know if there is a 'better' medication for certain types of symptoms from PD. For ex., my dad's biggest problem is balance. He has no tremors just mostly depression, fatigue and balance. he feels like the doc is not giving him enough meds. He too is on carbidopa/levadopa. He was dx'd last Sept., but has has PD for yrs...any thoughts from anyone? Thanks so much. I appreciate your time. Tedi

Because "no two people which are diagnosed with Parkinsons are alike. We have a lot of the same symptoms like...tremors, can't swing our arms when we walk, handwriting gets terrible, drooling..and problems with balance and taking smaller steps...(my doc called it the "Parkinsons shuffle)!!!
