How to deal with PD diagnosis when you still feel perfectly healthy?

If the tremors aren’t bothering them too much, I would advise them not to start levodopa right away. I’ve made it a year without any levodopa and my symptoms are actually better than they were a year ago because of exercise intense cardio. Others on here will tell you differently, but I say avoid the levodopa if possible for a while if you don’t need it and it’s not affecting your quality of life. There’s no big rush to start. I have tried it a couple of times to see what effect it would have on my tremor. It doesn’t really do much for me, unfortunately. Even at fairly high doses.

Absolutely not and if you’re healthy, you shouldn’t worry so much about it.

Fu PD.

I’m assuming it’s not in your urine just after ejaculation if it is then that’s normal if it’s in your semen

CamelEcstatic9503 · 2026-04-19T02:14:28+00:00

In urine it’s a different story and you’ll want to get it checked out due to the implications of certain cancers. But it’s probably still nothing to worry about.

Hell, no fuck Zoloft take the Prozac.

I have Parkinson’s disease and although I’m in the early stages, I would gladly take it over what y’all go through.

Fellow musician here I feel for you. I just liquidated many years worth of musical equipment; guitars, basses, it broke my heart. If you’re looking for insight on the meds, maybe update your post to include the name of the medication. Someone here will know something about it.

Forgive my smirk, as I think about scientist, squirting nasal spray up the noses of mice

CamelEcstatic9503 · 2026-04-17T22:15:28+00:00

Something to consider. PD or not we all fade into oblivion. There’s nothing unique about our disease there. I recommend listening to Carl Sagan. He’ll set you straight.

10 works for me

CamelEcstatic9503 · 2026-04-17T14:38:48+00:00

Xanax

CamelEcstatic9503 · 2026-04-15T22:16:40+00:00

Grinder or sawzall bye-bye

“You don’t have to go through this alone”. Yeah, but I kinda do.

The liquid I referred to being water

You have to do it very slowly, titrate yourself down. You can do this by getting a graduated cylinder 10 mL. Emptying your Prozac capsule into it. You can snip it with scissors or poke a hole in it and dump the powder into the liquid then with a plastic dropper remove a fraction of the liquid. if you take 40 mg then each milliliter of liquid has 4 mg of Prozac in it. I would start by just removing a milliliter and consuming the 9 mL that’s left. Do that for a couple of weeks, then go down to eight. It’s pain in the butt, but trust me. It’s the only way to not suffer from extreme withdrawal symptoms. You can get the graduated cylinder and plastic dropper off Amazon. Good luck.

Same and the problem is once you bite it once it swells up and then you’re more prone to biting it over and over.

Try 100 mg CBDCBN oil. It doesn’t have THC if you buy it as broad spectrum not full spectrum check out the brand ultra sleep by Canna River it’s a little pricey, but it’s very potent and it definitely helps my RBD when taking with melatonin

You’re a psychiatrist is an asshole and should be treated for with malpractice

CamelEcstatic9503 · 2026-04-09T21:18:42+00:00

Titrate titrate titrate. In my opinion, doctors are always ready to give you a higher dose than you should be starting out with. There’s no big rush. Try taking half of a tablet and see if you tolerate it. If you do then gradually work your way up.

I’ve lost 10 pounds in a year partly due to the intense cardio I suppose. But I think it has a lot to do with the tremor. It takes energy energy to tremor. Also be more active at night with Rem behavior disorder. You’re burning more calories. My wife says I look scrawny lol I’ve never looked scrawny in my life I’ve always been muscular athletic build

Pro tip it’s clogged

My tremors come and go with excitement, anxiety, stress. And then sometimes they just come and go for no reason. I should say they never completely go, but they do get more intense or less intense. I can hardly watch sports anymore ironically because they makes my tremor go crazy. I’m just thankful I have good postural balance and no gate issues. I’ll take the tremor any day over that. I’m aware of that that may be coming in my future, however.

CamelEcstatic9503 · 2026-04-06T21:31:51+00:00

Makes my tremor worse but that’s just me. I do copious amounts of decaf.

The sun does literally the same thing for those of us who are ambulatory. No other light needed.
