I have had very similar experiences, my speech is best? when I first awake,
then deteriorates into 'cycles' per medication timing as Nigel indicated
below. Meds rare Sinimet, Selegiline, Baclofen,,Prozac, and Hydrocodone.
other than speech ,my problems are mostly rigidiiy and minor tremors, with
chronic muscle spasms in hands, feet, and neck. I would also appreciate any
feedback.

Nigel: If the problems can be linked to medication would that be a reason
to transcend dental medication? Joe. Nigel Harland wrote:
Hello all, Since diagnosis way back in '89 my speech has
become increasingly garbled, to the extent that I now rely heavily on my
wife to do the speaking for me, and I try to avoid conversations if
possible. Even the simplest of phone calls stresses me out, not knowing
whether or not I will be able to make myself understood.The problem seems
to be linked to my Meds, when I am at peak medication my speech is at its
worst, when I am at minimum medication my speech is almost back to
normal.The situation seemed to get worse after I started taking
Amitriptyline to help me sleep.I would like to ask the following
questions.1/ Has anyone experienced similar problems, if so do you ha!
ve
any advice or tips on how to improve the situation ?2/ Several mails
lately have mentioned Remeron as an aid to sleeping, has this had any
adverse effects on speech ?Regards,Nigel ,46 , Present Meds :: Madopar
Dispersible, Cabaser, Selegeline, Amantadine, Amitriptyline.
