My EX Wife called and said she had read on the internet lots about Lexapro having side effects with Parkinsons like symptoms....
My neurologist got me in today and basically said the SAME thing...God I hate when she is right...lol. Really tho, the DR said other than the obvious tremors I had no other symptoms of PD. He said it could have just been Unmasked by the Lexapro but to not take any more and cut back on any medicine that I dont absolutely have to have right now. He said to try to detox my body and they will do several tests next week....took blood today, will take 24 hr urine sample for heavy metals, and an MRI and CAT scan next week. I hope they use a nice fluffy cat. FESS Posted on 07/04/08, 12:07 am |

Fess, I read in your profile that you're wondering about the heretary aspect of PD. My Great Aunt and her Son are the only two family members that have had PD in my family and from what I read there is only a 3% chance that you will have those genes. I hope and pray for my children and grandchildren's sake that is correct. Best of luck with your symptoms and the horses. Happy 4th to you and your family.
