Thank you for getting back with me in ref to my husbands low energy level. He did not suffer with the extreme fatigue as he does now. Yes he takes Paxil for depression. This has been a very tough year for my sweet husband and I might add a very exhausting year for me as caregiver. I am so grateful for others such as yourself that are willing to help other PD patients. Thank you

My husband takes amantadine in addition to his Sinemet for energy. Also we started on Merentine and I’m seeing a big change in energy, speech, social participation. Please know he works out with trainers 4 to 5 times a week. Half dose Miralax per day is taking care of constipation. High interval intensity training-HITT I believe is helping him as well to produce his own dopamine. May be helping with constipation. The YMCA has adaptive training programs for Parkinson’s and the cost is minimal. Medicare will pay for physical therapy as long as you are progressing. He’s the best he’s been in 3 years.
