Hey list, Lately I've been experiencing a strange symptom or perhaps medication side effect. It is a little difficult to describe in words, but the analogy I use is to a car engine "missing" on one of its cylinders. The episodes are almost like mini-blackouts, but I don't lose consciousness. It's a "blip" where I skip a beat--not a heartbeat; it's definitely in my brain. Physical activity makes it happen more often. I take Requip, but had this thing before I started taking it (I realize there are sleep-attack issues with Requip, but this isn't like that). I'm 50 years old, diagnosed w/ PD almost 4 years ago, also taking CR Sinemet, Comtan, Amantadine. I'm going to talk to my neurologist about it today, but wondered if anyone has any idea what I'm trying to describe or has had similar episodes.
