We have just started a Parkinson's Support group. At last months meeting we were discussing the many different drugs some people are taking. It came up that some people are taking 5 - 8 different drugs at once. Two people agreed that they were not sure if they benefited from each of the drugs. Our questions to the list: How many different drugs can be safely taken at the same time? What is the "average" number of drugs taken daily by the "average" Parkinson's patient? Should you rely on the doctor alone to verify the efficacy of any new drug taken? When/How/Should you tell your doctor that you want to start over and verify the value of each drug? Thanks in advance! Mike
