I take Duopa (levodopa /carbrdopa). And Requip

My neurologist prescribed mirapex er yesterday because my medication is not lasting. I'm scared to take the medicine is anyone else use this medication and did you do OK on it. Already get swelling in my legs this can cause that and it can cause compulsive Behavior but I'm wondering has anyone had sleep attacks on it. Your input would be greatly appreciated. He's also trying to get me on rytary to give me a smoother delivery of the dopamine without so much on and off.

I had been on Sinemet,took it for almost 2 yrs suffered from extreme nausea that lead to wt lost and feeling ill 24/7. Now am on miraprex that causes my feet to swell, insomnia, urge to power eat causing excess wt gain. In the past I have had to take anti anxiety meds and had awful side effects so no longer take them. It appears anything that is going to 'mess' with head I am not going to get much benefit from. Anyone have problems with either of these meds?

My father’s legs freeze in bed which can make it a huge effort to lever himself up from horizontal with just his upper body strength (which at 81 is not so great) - it can take him 10 minutes to do it sometimes when he gets up in the night for a pee m

My husband's neurologist just prescribed the Inbrijia inhaler to help with "off" times. He was taking the Apokyn injection as needed but it caused orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure) and it he passed out (Apoykyn is not like levodopa but similar to Miralax). Inbrijia is a levodopa powder that goes into a rescue inhaler for those bad "off" times. He hasn't started it yet but was wondering if anyone has had experience with this new medication. Thanks.
