Shaking
This is toyLs' caregiver.
He has had PD for 16 yrs, 12 of those yrs using sinemet. Now when he takes a dose (one 25/100 SA & one 25/100 reg.), he begins to shake uncontrollably--mostly upper torso--arms/hands/head...really badly...just started 4-5 days ago; getting worse.
The other day he stiffened up and jerked himself out of a chair and backward onto the floor!
Meds include:
45 mg Remron
20 mg Adderall
10mg Vicodin 6x daily, for Degenerative Cervical disc issues
Statin
3mg Valium 3x daily
Also of note--had cervical steroid injection 6/15/12;-seemed to go okay.
Has anyone had any similar experience?
What did your Dr. do?
Many thanks in advance.
