Suggest Treatment For Parkinson S Disease And Anxiety Disorder
I was given an injection of Haloperidol by the hospital instead of giving my tablet of Klonipin 0.5 mg for anxiety and panic attacks. Was my life in danger? I have Parkinson s Disease which I take Carbidopa/Levodopa-you should receive this drug if you take this medicine, and Plavix-blood thinner that is not to be taken with that drug, and Trazodone-anti-depressant-sleep aid, Zoloft-anti-depressant, Norco-for pain, Klonipin , that the last 4 makes you sleepy and comes with a caution, more sensitive to the this drug if you have Heart Disease-I suffer from Congestive Heart Failure, Heart Regurgitation, Hardened Heart, High Blood Pressure, and Panic Disorder NOS, at the time I had Pneumonia and COPD-infections, not to have that drug for interactions. I hallucinated for all day in the hospital and into the night at home and numerous side effects, now flashbacks and nightmares. I gave the ER staff and 3rd floor nurses a copy of all my medications with dosages and list of all my illnesses, evidently they did not check my chart. Thank you. Fred Gough.
Hii..welcome to HCM. Levodopa sometimes produce some pschiatric symptoms. Don't worry.As Haloperidol itself cause idiopathic Parkinson's like picture you might switch to a 2nd generation antipsychotic which has low EPS potential like Quitiapine.Consult your psychiatrist . Take care.
