Mom started having side effects only a week or two after being put on it by her primary doctor(diarrhea and restlessness) I called the doctor and we're stopping it.
But what's alarming is the primary doctor was operating outside his lane. She sees a neurologist. Furthermore according to what I'm reading its controversial for advanced cases and most neurologists stop using it in the later stages of the disease. My mom is now later stage. When I asked why she was put on it and what benefit they expected to see they didn't have good answers.
Anyone else have what appears to be a rogue primary doctor?
The question is not about a "rogue primary doctor" but rather who is actually driving the bus when it comes to your Mom's medical care? Your Mom by herself? Or someone else who is not managing it well? It appears to need better management and follow-up.
Neurology here never explains the whys or whynots on these meds. They expect you to just nod your head and go along with whatever they say.
