Members discussing fatigue, anxiety, and poor sleep with Parkinson's shared a wide range of medications that have helped them, including clonazepam, buspirone, Effexor, Lexapro, Cymbalta, Trazodone, and melatonin, with many noting that finding the right combination takes time and guidance from a neurologist. Several members praised CBD oil for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and easing pain, while others highlighted the importance of daily exercise, consistent sleep schedules, and afternoon naps to manage energy. A recurring theme was that listening to your body, staying connected to a supportive community, and working closely with your medical team are key to navigating these challenging symptoms.

I don’t care if I’m addicted. Anything that will help me feel better, physically and emotionally, I’m all in! This disease is horrible. I simply try hard to get thru the day and night. My family doesn’t get it. How could they?? I think that’s the hardest part. No empathy from family. Just extremely frustrating when they don’t believe you when you try to explain what you’re going through

Have you asked your doctor for Buspar? My husband has it prescribed 3 times daily for anxiety but takes it as needed which is more like once a day most days. It has little to no side effects.

I am back, I guess I have just been trying to figure somethings out. My youngest sister also has PD and is now in a wheelchair, she falls all the time and now has lewy body dementia it has been harder for me to see her like this then myself. I am not in a wheelchair but this makes 5 others in my family with PD. I am 71 and three of the others are younger then me.it has taken them down faster then me. I have alot of daytime fatigue sleepless nights anxiety I have also have osteoporosis and hve alot of bone loss which with PD is not good, but with all of this I thank God every day that he gives me and give him the praise in all things for God is good all the time. I hope all of you had a beautiful CHRISTmas and a blessed New Year. My full name is Sharron
