Parkinsonâs Disease: Types, Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis And Treatment Over time, the benefits of drugs typically decrease although the symptoms can still be controlled fairly. The medications include the following: Carbidopa-Levodopa: This is the most effective medication for Parkinson’s disease.

Bradykinesia This type of medication does much to slow the progression of the disease, but it has little affect on bradykinesia. Surgeries are also used to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The two main surgeries performed are the thalamotomy and the pallidotomy. Of these, only the pallidotomy affects bradykinesia.

Parkinson Disease In-Depth From A.D.A.M. Levadopa (l-Dopa) Levodopa, also called L-dopa, which is converted to dopamine in the brain, remains the gold standard for treating Parkinson's disease. The standard preparations (Sinemet, Atamet) combine levodopa with carbidopa, which improves the action of levodopa and reduces some of its side effects, particularly nausea.

- Budipine and Other Glutamate Blockers. A number of experimental drugs are being investigated for Parkinsons disease because they block the actions of glutamate, an amino acid that is a particularly potent nerve cell killer. Some of these drugs block a receptor group to glutamate called N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA).abapentin is thought to decrease the production of glutamate. Glutamate is an excitatory amino acid in the brain. It acts as the major excitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Glutamate, in excessive amounts, is toxic to motor neurons.

Apomorphine Currently, apomorphine is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It is a potent emetic (i.e. , it induces vomiting) and should not be administered without an antiemetic such as domperidone.ithin 3–20 minutes of injection apomorphine demonstrates a magnitude of effect (ability to convert the patient with Parkinson's disease to the on state) that is comparable to l-dopa. A single subcutaneous injection lasts for up to 90 minutes.

exacerbation of symptoms with use of Wellbutrin I would get a second opinion, many of the antidepressants cause parkinsonian sytoms, but if they take you off of them the syptoms will go away.

Dopamine Medications for Treating Parkinson's Disease Two classes of medications can do this: 1  medications that directly stimulate cells that use dopamine -- the dopamine agonists. 2  medications that inhibit the breakdown of dopamine in the body and thus increase the levels available to the brain -- the COMT and MAO inhibitors.

- So they are often the first choice of treatment for Parkinson's disease. However, these drugs do raise the chances of some short-term side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, light-headedness, confusion, and hallucinations. Amantadine may help people with mild Parkinson's disease. It works by raising the amount of dopamine that your brain cells can use, which helps you have fewer Parkinson’s symptoms. Recent studies have found that Symmetrel may help ease the involuntary movements that can happen with levodopa therapy.
