It had never happened to me while I was on Sinemet and selegiline. So, the meds you take have a lot to do with it. Make sure you have your drug regimen adjusted immediately and quit fooling around with guns.
Why the **** you want a gun in the house, anyway? (scold, scold...  ) |
Teresa,
No I'm not taking Stalevo. However, I am taking Comtan which is the drug mixed with Sinemet in Stalevo. I also take Sinemet. I hadn't heard about Stalevo causing suicidal thoughts until your post. I had never even thought of suicide until this last Saturday. As for the guns, I used to be a quite avid hunter. Since my PD dx they have remained locked in the gun safe without a thought. At least they are out of here now.
