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 have 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.
