My husband has been on Apokyn for over a year and I don't know what we would do without it - it would be great if the FDA would approve the pump but alas they haven't yet.

When he is totally incapacitated and can not move - one injection and within minutes he's up again! Great stuff for those who need it and can tolerate it.

Is putting me on apomorphine, startig next thursday. It's the pen. I just hope it'll stop all this "jumping around" with dyskinesia. I hope that it helps me in any way at all. Gotta take the antinauseant, 3, 4, 5-trimethoxy benzamide 300mg/ 3 times a day, for 3 days before the first shot. More fricken "horse pills", I gotta gag down. I'm embarrased by the "wall of pills" that is piling up in the kitchen shelves. Gone from a guy with only one or two past date prescriptions in the bathrom cabinet, to having enough pills to choke a horse
Well I'm not complaining , I'll try anything , if it promises release (even for a short time) from this Dumbo Disease. I'm just "coming down" from an overmedicated state, and am a really diskinetic "twist tie" position. Typing ain't easy; I swear that i'm gonna wreck my computer desk from constantly hitting the wood with my knees ( wouldn't be the first one)!

I am about to take a Apomorphine challenge test at a UK hospital. I have seen very little written about it by PWPs who have experienced its pros and cons.
Please update us.

Thank you

I noted the date of this resurrected post. Can you tell us how it went for you in using Apokyn? It has been approved for use in an epi pen, but I know that they are tryiing to get it approved in nasal spray delivery. But what I want to know ias "Did it work?" I have a friend in Florida that uses it regularly. She says she wouldl never "kick on" were it not for the shot of apomorphine.

We are considering use of Apokyn or had wings, relocation to Europe (!) for the pump. At the end of ups and downs and ons and offs with Sinemet for Jan. I appreciate this thread, Ms. ZFlower!
