Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 I know it's a worry when the doctor put's you on a med and when you try to fill it your tolded that there is a warning , that it won't go with the drugs they are already on. We came across that on Fred's Wellburton and called the doctor about it, he said that the help that it would do for Fred out weight the other things. So he is on it now. There are so many drugs that can't be taken with PD meds because of other things that they may cause, but doctors do put the person on it because it is needed. I think it's best if there is a question about any drug, talk to your doctor ask them about it. I've put in part of what is said about Duvoid, it has what can be, but doesn't always mean it will be. Doctors study the drugs and know what side effect they can have.
