but part of the problem is that the person with pd may not be able see their own symptoms.
i think the family and caregivers need to be aware that this might end up happening. seek help right away.
what about the person with pd? if this might happen, wouldn't you want to know it is happening from either pd or the meds? and not that you are going crazy?
i agree rick, the meds need to mentioned. imo they pla a key part in the emotional changes that can happen.
my dad is a case in point. i know i have posted many times about the horrendous experience with requip. he is a changed person emotionally because of it. permanent damage.
the ethical and resposible thing his neuro should have done was not down play the side effects of requip to my mother. by the time she called me, my dad was in a full blown phycotic state of horrible hallucinations.
