I also take Eskalith (Lithium), Depakote, Paxil, Synthroid, Seroqual, Vasteric. >>>> Hello Gina, Seems to me you are taking a lot of meds that are all of the (anti-)depressants sort. I was wondering if these were prescribed by the SAME doctor? Did/does he know about the PD and the meds you are taking now? (since you were only recently diagnosed!). Sometimes these meds can interfere with, or counteract eachother, especially in such a mix. Since you are looking for a good new neuro, I certainly would discuss the list of ALL the meds you are taking now, especially because of the blurred/double vision and the "all colours of the rainbow" legs. And because you worry about the leg-thing, I think you should make an appointment with the new neuro rather this week than next month! (DO NOT CHANGE MEDS UNTIL AFTER A PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED PHYSICIAN!!) Take care, Hans.
