Q
My husband's hands, and mouth quiver due to Parkinson's. What do you suggest?
A
I have been diagnosed with Parkinsons about 5 years ago. I started with the drug Amantadine, then added Carb/Levo ER (which is the generic form of Sinemet), and have also added Azilect.
The "combination" of all three has been working quite well for the last 3 years. My doctor said, during my last checkup that if I start displaying signs of the Parkinsons advancing, I would add more of the drug Azilect.
He checked my rigidity factor and "so far, so good." So I assume that if and "when" my syptoms get worse, then more Azilect would be added.
