shot in the dark, but does anyone have any tips on self-managing young onset parkinsons? primarily the rigidity and dystonia. the other symptoms are nothing in comparison to how bad the dystonia gets, and it’s in almost every part of my body at this point. i can’t function

i’m currently on carb/levo 25:100 x4day, PRN propranolol and 300mg of pregabalin at night (this one i am currently trying to taper off of). i get Botox every 3 months. i have a set of daily stretches/weight lifting exercises and hike 2-4miles x5-6 days a week but this is what i dedicate most of not all of my functionality to

have tried a variety of meds, for some reason even though muscle relaxants work for me, i get intensely disoriented on them (like, can’t remember the words i just read, feeling shitfaced drunk disoriented. i think potentially an interaction with my pregabalin), so not an option right now. orphenadrine and baclofen have worked the best though. honestly, orphenadrine was great at relieving the dystonia and i want to try again with it after i taper off lyrica

ativan worked great but ran out of that a long time ago. gabapentin worked fine for me. vyvanse helps in a pinch but makes my autonomic symptoms horrible for 2-3 days after. mucuna also was too much for my autonomics :-/

otherwise have tried most SSRIs you could name, a couple tricyclics, ropinirole, magnesium/potassium/sodium supps and primidone with no success. i am a bit intimidated by dopamine agonists because of how much ropark tanked my BP and carblevo seems to work well for me. always notice a stark contrast in symptoms after taking a dose, i just need some help knowing what combos of meds won’t make me too groggy or hypotensive to function, but will still nip the dystonia in the bud.

i’m thinking — increase carblevo to a tab and a half x4/day, taper off lyrica and try restarting orphenadrine? any other tips would be highly appreciated. very overwhelmed with this all 😅

  2. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: @eiffraffca what ya mean
  3. R @ Riffraffca: Has anyone used and markets on the Dark Web?
  4. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @nameofuser11 Lol, happens to the best of us my friend. I think plain leaf will remain pretty easy to access, and prices shouldn’t fluctuate too much. Read up on how to use btc if you don’t know already. It’s not rocket science :)
  5. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: I donated and I forgot how to get the password. I am a moron. Don't worry I have no plans on becoming a vendor with my stupidity
  6. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: @st1ckyf1ng4z you're right of course. But being able to purchase with a debit card on a clearnet site with quality labs and low prices will be gone.
  7. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: Especially if they’re using mitragynine as the parent alk to make substitutes. I think it will affect plain leaf too at the very least it will not be as available as it’s been.
  8. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan @nameofuser11 That’s wild. But basic supply/demand tho, right? In my area all the leaf has been pulled off shelves,
  9. J @ j00ciiez: It sucks they're banning sr17. It seems to be a holy grail for many ppl.
  10. nameofuser11 @ nameofuser11: To clarify plain leaf kratom is not a part of this ban. Mitragynine might be fine. 7, psuedo,mgm15 and sr1708 are what are on the table to be banned most likely but hopefully just regulated.
  11. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z and yes , there are already indole alkoloids with tweaked scaffolding ready to take the place of 7/mgm, all with mitragynine as their parent alkoloid. The game of wack a mole starts the minute 7 is officially banned. Its 2013 K2 all over
  12. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan Also, it’s just a matter of time before another alternative pops up on the market anyway….
  13. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @MorfineOrfan I couldn’t agree more, bro. It’s fucked up. I recognize prices will rise, but it will always be available…. Stock up now while you can at least if you’re preferred read is opiates. As an ex-fentanyl addict I won’t ever touch any of that shit again. I remember when I started to see 7oh pop up, I knew it was going to end like this but I can understand getting rid of 7oh/mgm-15/16. With that being said, they should leave plain leaf alone!
  14. MorfineOrfan @ MorfineOrfan: @st1ckyf1ng4z oh trust, i know that, im helping a pretty big vendor transition, to here and dnm , but prices are going to rise bc of risk. But availability is only part of this whole kratom alks situation. We have a serious problem with society. Last year alcohol killed 178,000 people, last year all other drugs combined killed 69,973 Out of those 38,084 were from opiate/opioids and out of those 0 were killed by 7oh. With these numbers we can see the problem with banning 7oh
  15. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Hell i remember when getting 25g of aphip was like 200$ or so
  16. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Dude wants $150 for 5g... I told him nahh doggy cmon.
  17. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Man im tryin to get this one kat to come off that apvp for 75$
  18. MrFuszy @ MrFuszy: Cant wait to get the apvp in
  19. token @ token: Afternoon everyone! Hope their day or night has been good!
