I have been taking 3 300mg Gabapentin capsules along with one 25/100 Sinemet CR, one 5 mg. Eldepryl, along with 2 carbo/Dopa 25/100, for PD in the evening. I also have Diabetes ( Metformin 1000 mg. in PM) and also Desyrel 3 50 mg oral tabs. I still wake up every 3 hours with the writhing leg symptoms that heralded the onset of the PD years ago. The PD has caused me to urinate during the night every 3 hours... I know that this night time urinating is a symptom of PD, but I am concerned with the dry mouth, the break-through of symptoms (leg writhing).....I also worry that the Desyrel is addictive, and an especially helpful sleep inducer Earlier, I was given Closapine for the evening, but that seemed to me to be overkill. Why isn t the PD med (especially since I am taking a CR type in addition to the general type of carbo/dopa..) helping? I suppose I fear the answer.....namely, your PD is progressing and you need more meds). Can you recommend a sound nutritional plan for a person with PD and Diabetes? I don t feel that there has been any nutritional knowledge shared re. PD and diet....why is that??? I have little vitality, ride my recumbent bike 6-8 miles a day, at an average resistance level (6 miles in 30 minutes). I go to the PD association bi-monthly for support meetings, yet still am apathetic and somewhat depressed. I am a 67 year old female....Thanks....Laurie Johnson
