My dr has recommended I take other meds but I'm afraid of the side effects, could someone tell me what they're taking and if it is helping. Also I live in sw Georgia can you recommend a neurosurgeon?
If you look at someone’s profile there’s a part that says what meds they’ve been on and the side effects
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, I have been diagnosed 19 years and presently take carbidopa/levodopa plus Ropinirole & Amantadine. If you read side effects of practically any medicine, not just Parkinson's, you will never take any medicine. It's like GinnyJ said you have to get a doctor you trust. I was tried on Rasagline, but had side effects and had to stop taking it, but side effects went away. Every medicine has "potential" side effects. With this disease we are all going through trial and error one day at a time. Depend on the doctor to prescribe and find what works for you, but, ultimately put your faith and trust in the Lord!!!
Love & prayers in Christ, .Robert

I ALSO HAVE A DEEP BRAIN STIMULATOR, ON Both sides of my brain. I used to take several different types of med medications, but I didn't like the side effects, SO l hyst slowly cut them out and I found l didn't really need them, and actually I have been able to fun better, with out all the 3ztra, garbage they had me on.
I take carbodah 1and1half tablets 4 x a d really helps.
