Meg, Yes, I have developed anxiety from having pd. I was dxed with pd 16 years ago, when I was 40. Two or three years ago I developed anxiety from the parkinson's. My neuro put me on xanax and that seems to control it well. Apparently anxiety is common in people with pd. Before my dx, I was very laid back and never was the type of person to worry or fear silly things. Like I said xanax does help me. I take 0.5mg and can take it 4 times a day if needed prn. I usually take one in the evening before bedtime and it usually does the job. Good Luck!

Mine seems to be getting worse and my neurologist said he would rather see me take more Xanax then increase PD meds. Thanks.
