Should I be concerned about taking too much levodpa? There currently exists a lot of research activity related to PD, and a number of new medications are under development. In this video, Dr Stern explains some of the new treatment options and research advances that will affect PD therapy in the future.

Thank you so much for the information. My mom just started INBRIJA for her Parkinson’s off periods and I can’t thank y’all enough. It’s almost like she doesn’t any symptoms of Parkinson’s at all using INBRIJA. Thank you again🙏🏽❤️

@darrenklark7893 Год назад

I’ve never seen any medication work as well as INBRIJA for my Parkinson’s. This inhaler has made dealing with my Parkinson’s much more manageable🙏🏽

@debbieheim3694 Год назад

I hope so too! Diagnosed in November 2021. I’m holding my own but balance is a problem. Thank you!

Thank you for the information. The only side effect I’ve had is a slight cough, but that’s only if I inhale too quickly. Otherwise if I use the INBRIJA inhaler correctly it gets me out of my off period usually in under 5 minutes. I’ve never seen anything else for Parkinson’s Disease work as effectively and quickly as INBRIJA. Ty for the video.

I have a friend that was overdosed. She was totally out of it. She also had constipation so bad that she had to be hospitalized. The hospital didn't diagnose the overdose. The rehab center finally realized a month later that she was overdosed, all the time she was totally bedridden. She was begging her husband and her husband was entirely unnerved by the treatment she was getting so he took her home. It was more than one month to get a tentative diagnosis of an overdose but no change was made in medications. We couldn't get it resolved because the first neurologist couldn't be bothered to come in and see her. She had never seen this neurologist who is writing prescriptions without seeing her in person. Now my friend is both bowel and bladder incontinence. And she can't walk, going on four months. All of that was caused by the overdose. The new neurologist said she is supposed to keep the dosage on now and at least she's not doped up all the time. But she does say she going to get up out of the wheelchair. And can't. If she tries she pitches over. She falls out of bed every couple of days.

And that's with constant attention. She will tell me she can walk. We try to help her take a few steps but she quits after a step or two. Her husband can barely move her from bed to wheelchair. Or from wheelchair to couch. She's heavy and it takes all his body strength. We can't hire aids because they don't want to lift a patient. This all happened because of the overdose. She was fine; could walk, reason and had control of all body functions before the increase in dose. The other problem is all the carbidopa/l dopa is that the increase in dopamine makes her unconcerned. She is literally doped, like a drunk or heroin addict. And the illogical doctors in this medical symptom think that if l_opa stops an essential tremor than the patient has Parkinson's. Actually, alcohol will suppress essential tremors. So, you can't diagnose Parkinson's so easily.

A video telling us you don't know? At least it's short.

Levodopa works best on an empty stomach. Since it causes nausea it is combined with carbidopa.

Exactly what I was thinking. How can you trust his therapy when he won't answer a simple question about long-term effects?

@TheMcoo4 6 лет назад

Do you realise how it makes you feel when you have been diagnosed for 10 years and they just talk about early symptoms. It's like w are being forgotten x

@helenellevsen2028 5 лет назад

14 years . I hear what you are saying.

@jazztocountry1047 2 года назад

I understand it's not a permanent fix.

He said nothing to answer the question about taking too much Levodopa!!

@panoramapatientnetwork7430 7 лет назад

Hi Cecilia. Thank you for your comment. We do not go into tremendous detail about this but we do mention that too much Levodopa leads to increased fluctuations and greater involuntary movements. But since this segment is part of a much larger module that answers questions about "what's new?" and "what can someone expect in the future?", we punctuate Dr Stern's comments with information about the new formulations that are either available or about to come to market that deliver the drug in a slower, more regulated way, leading to fewer fears of complications. We will be updating this channel shortly and we'll be sure to add clarity to this module. Thanks again.

If doctors would listen to patients more and stop dismissing our PD symptoms as nothing real or not important, yes we could get diagnosed and treated earlier. I am through with those kind of doctors, especially the ones who think it's all in a woman's mind.
