My Doctor Wants To Put Me On The Neupro Patch, Your Comments?
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Can anyone who has taken this let me know if it worked for them, the dose they took and any side effects from it. I like to research the product before I use it. Thanks for your comments. Bean

My grandma has Parkinson’s disease, she is about 75 years old it was detected 7 years ago. Right now it’s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she can’t even move. L-dopa and carbidopa medicines are given, but won"t give much relief. She can"t eat food and the skin is damaging forming ganglia. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications she was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on natural treatments and came across Parkinson’s Herbal Treatment from Health Herbs Clinic ( healthherbsclinic. c om ), the treatment has made a very huge difference for her. Her symptoms including body weakness and her tremors disappeared after few months on the treatment. She is getting active again since starting this treatment, she is able to walk again ( down the street and back ) and able to ride her treadmill again. God Bless all PD Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength.

I started with the 2mg patch and really noticed no change/ so my neurologist upped it to 4 mg patch which was quite a bit larger, harder to hide and - this is what matters- I noticed I started behaving in a far more compulsive way. Online shopping, something that never interested me, I started doing a lot. It took me waking at 2am and buying sneakers online…. And realizing I bought the same bathing suit in 3 colours … to think ‘hey, this is really weird. Really not like me’. Told Dr and he immediately stopped it. Apparently compulsive behaviour is a known side effect for some.

I hope this is helpful.

Martha969, thanks so much for the information. With people telling me of their side effects, it kind of scared me away. I think I will wait on that. Have a good week. Bean

I have not had this patch, but I had a different medication patch. What a giant pain in the a— to have something stuck to me all the time. Struggling to peel off the backing and get it on before it stuck to itself. No more patches for me!
