(movement disorder Dr) I am a young pwp and having a 1st time transition period from Permax 1mg 3x's a day ( sometimes I took 3/4 of a tab) to Requip .50 to .75 3x's a day. I was having such pressure in my lower back of my head, neck & now my its seems my knees which is affecting my posture tremendously. Is it true that you need a anticholinergics drus to successfully treat PD? (TRYING to hold off on Sinemet, IF i can do to being so young!) Appreciate your help. (ASAP) Tthanks, [log in to unmask] I started with the pressure in neck, stooped posture, weak knees, high anxiety, hyperventilating, after a change in my hormonal (monthly) drug rx (from my gyn), and does anyone know if hormones disturb things? A few wks later I had a episode fissures & infection -in my tongue(treated with antibodics) so then neurologist suggested a two wks stoppage of Eldepryl, then restart,but it started up again. So he said stop taking the Eldepryl. Any comments are appreciated. I'm a mess. Thank You, kindly JEAN Z 7 @ aol.com
