I’ve been on Crexont for almost two years. It helps with stiffness and my ability to walk , but causes major stomach upset. I can go about 4 hours between doses but when I crash., it’s big time. Sweating, tingling in my hands and feet and. Major bloating and upset stomach. Is anyone else having these side effects?

I don’t have any nausea on Crexont, which I take every 4 hours, but I do get the tingling sensation you describe & crashing when dose wears off.

Nausea is a known common side effect of Crexont Show Full Answer

What side effects are other people experiencing with Crexont, and are stomach upset, sweating, and tingling common?

Many MyParkinsonsTeam members have shared similar frustrations — it's a real balancing act when a medication helps with movement but makes your stomach miserable.

Nausea is a known common side effect of Crexont. The "crashing" experience between doses is also something others relate to, as the medication wears off before the next dose kicks in. The sweating and tingling you're describing during those crashes are worth flagging with your doctor, as are the bloating and stomach upset. Some things to discuss include:

- Timing of doses — your doctor may be able to adjust the schedule to reduce the "crash" effect
- Food interactions — high-protein or high-fat meals can interfere with how Crexont is absorbed
- Dose adjustments — after two years, your needs may have changed

It's also important to never stop or reduce Crexont suddenly, as this can cause serious withdrawal effects including dangerous fever and confusion.

Bringing a symptom diary to your next appointment — noting when crashes happen relative to doses — can really help your doctor fine-tune your treatment plan.
