Here I am, again, looking for input from you. Now that Doreen is being titrated off the Cogentin (the "med" that seems to have been responsible for her recent cognitive impairment), we now need to find a "med" specifically geared to treating/controlling her tremor. As well as the Cogentin controlled her tremor (almost non-existent), it severely impacted on and impaired the cognitive...and as we expected, the tremor has returned...not to the extent that she had been experiencing BEFORE taking the Cogentin...but, nevertheless, it has returned on the lowered dose of Cogentin...soon to be eliminated completely, I hope, so that the tremor will, once again, pose more than an annoying problem...and one that will, again, interfere with her work as a medical assistant. I am now asking you about what might specifically "work" well for tremors for any of you so that I will be able to discuss any recommendations that you may have somewhat intelligently with Doreen's neurologist by week's end. I am happy to say that the cognitive is very much improved on the lowered dosage of the Cogentin...and hoping that once eliminated, all will return to "normal", i.e., cognitively. It is just too bad that a medication that seems to "work" so well for a specific PD symptom has such dire and undesirable side effects...but, then, all of you already know this! Thank you for any information you might be able to provide.
