I'm not sure how many Turkish PWP subscribe to the list but others may have ideas/comments. My neighour was called back home to Turkey to see his father. He has been diagnosed PD for a number of years but has detiorated over the last seven months and is in practiceconfined to bed. He is 62. His medication I understand is :- Madopar 250 mg 4x day Dopergin 0.2 mg (Revanil?) Moverdin (?) 5mg and if he is restless Largactil 100mg. The latter was prescribed to "calm him down" and is used two or three times a week. The effect is to leave him sleeping over 24hrs. The overall picture is of a frail old man unable to walk or talk and confined to bed with little support for him or his wife (his carer). My neighbour is obviously distressed and is worried that his father is depressed and making the impact of PD worse. He feels that he must get his father mobile and out of bed. I have checked List archives but only find 2/3 postings which include Largactil. Altough I have been diagnosed for 9 years now and read the list regularly, I have not experienced any PWP with these symptoms. Any ideas/thoughts/comments would be appreciated.
