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
