Question 1

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease three years ago and take Syndopa Plus four times a day. I often feel depressed and anxious. What medicine can help me?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Feeling depressed and anxious is common in Parkinson's disease, even while taking Syndopa Plus. There are medicines and non-drug therapies that can help improve mood and reduce anxiety. You should consult your doctor to find the most suitable treatment for your situation.

Question 2

My mother has Parkinson's disease and has been taking Syndopa. After taking a painkiller last night, she experienced severe shivering in her hands and legs this morning. What should I do?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Experiencing severe shivering after a painkiller while on Syndopa could be a drug interaction or side effect. You should contact your doctor immediately for proper advice and avoid taking any new medicines on your own.

Question 3

My father has Parkinson's disease and recently changed doctors. Since starting new medications, his behaviour has changed significantly, becoming suspicious and violent. Could this be due to Parkinson's or a psychological issue?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Behavioural changes like suspicion and aggression after changing Parkinson's medications may be due to the disease itself or side effects of the new drugs. You should consult your doctor immediately to review his treatment and address these changes safely.

Question 4

My mother has had Parkinson's disease for seven years. Are there any effective medicines? She has shaking in her hands and legs and struggles to stand up from bed.

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Parkinson's disease medicines can help reduce shaking and improve movement, but they cannot cure the condition. Your doctor can adjust or combine medications to manage symptoms and may suggest physiotherapy to improve mobility and help her stand more easily.

Question 5

My father has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Plus disease and is bedridden with stiffness in all joints. Can you suggest a treatment?

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Parkinson's Plus disease is progressive and currently has no cure. Treatment focuses on relieving stiffness, improving comfort, and supporting mobility through medications, physiotherapy, and supportive care. Your doctor can guide the best combination for symptom management.

Question 6

Is there any effective medicine for Parkinson's disease? My father has been suffering for three years and is currently on Syndopa Plus, Revemer 3, Ropark 25, and Amantrel but is not showing positive results.

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

Parkinson's disease medicines can help manage symptoms, but their effectiveness varies from person to person. If your father is not improving, his doctor may review his medications, adjust doses, or explore additional therapies better to control tremors, stiffness, and movement difficulties

Question 7

I have been a Parkinson's patient since 2008 and currently take Syndopa Plus 125 and RoPark 1mg every 3 hours. Recently, I've experienced extreme dyskinesia. What should I do about my dosage or any substitute with less levodopa?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

Since you are experiencing severe dyskinesia on Syndopa Plus 125 and RoPark 1mg every 3 hours, it is important not to change your medicines on your own. Dyskinesia often happens with long-term levodopa use. Consult your neurologist, who may adjust the dose, change timing, or add medications that reduce levodopa requirements to control symptoms. Careful management can help reduce involuntary movements while maintaining Parkinson's control.
