Do You Have DIP?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­

My neurologist says I have DIP. Does anybody else out there have the same diagnosis? I would like to hook up with fellow DIPper to compare medications that might be suspect. My doctor suspects Vraylar, Lithium, and Clonazepam the latter of which I'm weaning off now.

All of those medications could be at fault. The high likelihood of Parkinson’s should require a much better warning system.

These warnings are written in tiny print and buried in non-relevant information.

My Primary Care Physician said No, No, No to Lithium. My Neurologist DID NOT give a "thumbs up" to Lithium. My nutritionist said YES, YES, YES. I decided to follow my. Primary Care Physician's advice. So I do not take Lithium.

Any time you seek medical attention for any type if medical issues, symptoms, concerns, etc.. The absolite first thing any physician, Neurologist, psychiatrist, etc.. should do is an extensive evaluation of your current medications to determine all possible interactions and side affects. Adjust drugs and remove possible drug induced problems.
You remove the drug interactions causing the issue's and almost every single time, the problem goes away.
I'm sorry, but living with a diagnosis of DIP is just a total failure on your medical provider part.
Get a new doctor who can start helping instead of giving you a created problem.
