I am very interested in this thread as my husband has developed festination. He does not take Permax . . . takes Sinemet CR and Tasmar. Also Tegretol for seizures. Any other information out there?

( Is their no limit to how many ways PD can cause weird symptoms?) Thanks, Murray, for supplying a very complete definition. Now if someone can help me find an alternate agonist to Permax that doesn't have festination as a side effect, all will end well. I tried to find an answer on the web, but either there is none, or else I missed it.
