I was told by one Dr. that trepiline is very bad for your heart, today I was told my neorologist should never have given me Trepiline together with Azilect 1mg as it is very dangerous. Please tell my why. I have parkinsons and I am a 35 year old female ## It is actually the combination of the two that can be dangerous for your heart, as well as a lot of other biological processes, not necessarily either one by itself. Your neurologist was correct, there are many severe warnings about using these two medications together. Here is just a partial list about the problems it can cause when they are used together: tremor, myoclonus, rigidity, diaphoresis, hyperthermia, autonomic instability, hypertensive crises, disseminated intravascular coagulation, severe convulsive seizures, coma, and dea...

I take 600mg of gabapentin 3times daily for essential tremor. If I wait too long between doses I become confused dizzy and very tired. Also need to take upon rising in the AM. I Also have parkinsons but meds are not supposed to conflict.(azilect). Gabapentin works great for tremor but scary if I miss a dose. Any one else? ## Autocorrect has to be the most fun invention EVER!! It has certainly made life much more interesting. LOL And on to the Gabapentin, it is a bit unusual to have such a severe reaction from must missing one dose. Learn more Gabapentin details here. Are you normally that sensitive to medications? Some people are, including myself and it can cause these types of issues. If you are and you ever have to completely stop the medication, you will need to be careful and do a ...

I Also have parkinsons but meds are not supposed to conflict.(azilect). Gabapentin works great for tremor but scary if I miss a dose. Any one else? ## How long have you been taking it? It's unusual to have a reaction that soon upon missing a dose. Learn more Gabapentin details here. However, since it is happening, what I'd suggest is your setting up some type of reminder system to avoid missing doses. I use an app on my iPhone that beeps whenever I need to take my next dose of medications, but even leaving yourself notes around the house could work. Have you tried any reminder methods?
