@cheryllynn1003ky - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Having anxiety is rough, or at least I've found it so before finding the right prescription at the right dose for me.

I'm sorry it's gotten worse with anxiety and panic after diagnosis.

When were you diagnosed with Parkinson's? What treatments have you done for PD?

Feb 2025, went through 9 months of try to find out what was wrong , one day I just couldn’t walk, stuttered words, extreme pain in back and legs, nothing showed up on tests, kept me 5 days and put me on antidepressants, said I had severe anxiety and depression, medication drove me insane, I was almost bedridden, taking me off medication trying another, wasn’t sleeping eating , just crying all day, then I asked hospital Dr if they could do a test on my brain, I was having like my mind told my foot to move, but it didn’t…..took tests, walking all sorts of silly things, said I was showing small signs PD…
Put me on carpdopea levopoda 1 daily, after 3 months felt fine, then the anxiety and panic started coming really bad, like 4 a week, debilitating, back to square one, my symptoms became more prominent, tremors shaking antsy could not sleep, seen a nero dr, upped the CL….. and another antidepressant, I feel like I need more “on” days, I’m not just ready to go out much, don’t know from day to day when one will hit, it’s awful, the symptoms working in my body , shaking so bad can’t move or talk, electrifying sensation whole body, it lasts from 2-6 hrs cause sometimes meds wear off before next dose. I’m on Crexont 70mg/280 and Amantadine 100mg 2 per day
