He is taking 1/2 of a 25/250 Carbodopa/Levodopa 3x/day, Gabapentin 100mg twice a day, Exelon  twice a day Metoprolol 50 mg once a day, Amlodipine 10 mg once a day, Vasotec 40 mg  once a day, Mirtazapine 30 mg. once a day plus several vitamins.  He gets a B12 shot once a month.  About a month ago, we cut his Gabapentin from two twice a day to one twice a day and cut out l5 mg. of Mirtazapine, but he was doing well without them.  If you look at the email I sent on Feb. 6th re: joining the tmarcy CARE, you will get an abbreviated history of Dick's problems.  As regards to tremor, he has little, but he freezes often and his posture is often bent over, he toe walks when he is having a hard time and slides his feet at others.  His balance is not good, but sometimes he can run after the dog when it gets out without ever falling.  Weird, hug?

Thanks for your help.  Elaine

very unusual. Infections often make PD worse until cleared. UTI particularly.
Are you sure of the diagnosis? what medicaments is he taking?
