I suggest you talk to your doctor about both Artane and your agonist.Johns Hopkins: "Cognitive Impairment - Cognitive impairment to some degree occurs in most patients as Parkinson's disease advances. The changes may be subtle and have no effects on daily functioning. Others have more significant problems with memory, attention, or planning. In patients with advanced disease, about 25% of Parkinson's patients develop a dementia syndrome. It may also be caused by other treatable conditions such as hypothyroidism and vitamin B12 deficiency. These other causes should be fully investigated. In addition, many medications used to treat Parkinson's disease can cause or worsen cognitive impairment. This is particularly true about the anticholinergic medications (eg Artane) and the dopamine agonists. Of the medications used to treat Parkinson's Disease, levodopa is the least likely to cause cognitive problems."
