Anyone Sharing A Home With Your Adult Children/grandkids While Having Adv Parkinson’s With Hallucinations?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

How does the family handle the off times that lead to hallucinations with anger? It’s stressful from my end, and don’t enjoy putting the family thru the hard times. They should be enjoying their own family without drama.

What Experience Have You Had With Nuplazid?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Approximately 3 months ago, I experienced severe hallucinations hypothesized to be associated with an urinary tract infection, I had a second less pronounced episode of hallucinations about 6 weeks ago, also associated with a UTI. My neurologist prescribed Nuplazid, the only medication approved for the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's related hallucinations.

I have had no significant hallucinations since then. However, it is difficult to determine if the decrease is a direct effect of… read more

My hubby tried Nuplazid but it made his hallucinations and confusion worse. We also tried Rivastigmine but that made BP and heart rate drop to dangerous levels. On Seroquel now.

Has Anyone Dealt With And Found Help For Treatment Resistant Hallucinations And Delusions?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My wife was diagnosed with PD late March last year and started CD/LD at that time. 3, 25/100 tablets per day. Hal/del first showed up in late July. No issues before that. She has tried Nuplazid that appeared to work for 3-4 weeks then they returned. Stopped Nuplazid, switching to Seroquel, starting at 12.5 mg once a day. It seemed to work for short time (maybe 2-3 weeks) and then the hal/del returned. Dosage was bumped 12.5 mg each time and frequency throughout the day was spread out over time… read more

Does Anyone Else Take Seroquel And How Do You Cope With It I Took My First Night Before Last And I Couldn't Function The Next Day
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member

I am very sorry and I hope you can get some answers! My husband takes Carbidopa-Levo ER, Amantadine, and Entacapone and I feel his meds are not helping him.

Rytary
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

My husband has been taking Rytary for about a year. It helps with tremors but now I'm not sure if the behavioral issues he's having - suspicious, agitation, disorganized thinking, are a side effect of too much medication, or the advancement of the disease. The dr thinks the latter and wants to prescribe Clozapine (an anti-psychosis drug).

At times he is very difficult to deal with as his thinking and conclusions are totally illogical even if you try to explain. Would appreciate any feedback.

Bebeapples - thanks for the info on Rytary. I have read some of that about side effects. We worry if he goes back on Sinemet he'll get very little relief. Before he took it and his off time was awful… read more

Has Anyone Started Nuplazid?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Husband was on seroquel. That was stopped and he started on Nuplazid a couple weeks ago. Seems to be having a rough adjustment period.

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member

Nuplazid has helped my dad so so very much, it’s very expensive but with the help of your neurologist you can get assistance from the Parkinson’s foundation and there are others
