Hello Dar. Im new here so didnt quite know how to approach this subject but you did it for me. Im 51 with pd for 11 yrs and im on sinemet 25/100 sinemet cr permax parlodel before the sinemet artane bromocrypton parlodel not only am I stress out because of pd but ive added considerable weight which adds to my fight. trying to find which med is the cullprit is impossible because weight gain is shown as a side effect of them all. i finally asked for a water pill with potasium which now im afraid to take because it might lead to more foot cramps. what to do!!!! Since both of us are looking lets make direct contact to discuss mutual concers. we can do this off line as email if you prefer and then make reports here on the list as needed. maybe other women have similiar concerns but dont want to mention it. im leaving on holiday tomorrow and will be back on 28th. email will hold it till then. keep excercising.
