I would appreciate any advice guidance. I have been dealing with a situation where my husband (diagnosed with Parkinsons a few years ago is becoming increasingly aggressive sexually. Is this a medication side effect (He's using Mirapex and Carbidopa/Levo. Does anyone have any recommendations/advice on how to deal with this?
NetExec,
As a PWP, let me tell you that as long as your DH is taking the Mirapex, he will only get more aggressive. The Mirapex is causing his hypersexuality, it is a direct (and serious) side effect of the Mirapex. I've been through that, and I can tell you it is not fun for your DH either. Talk to his Dr. and let him know that you would rather have your DH on the Sinemet (L-Dopa) only.

The love of my life for the last 17 years was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease nearly 4 years ago, at age 52. He had a stooped posture, tremors, muscle stiffness, horrible driving skills, and slow movement. He was placed on Sinemet 50/200 at night for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but he had to stop due to side effects. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medications I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) In March this year his primary physician suggested we started him on Natural Herbs Centre ( Naturalherbscentre. com ) Ayurveda Parkinson’s Protocol which eased his anxiety a bit, i’m happy to report this PD Ayurvedic treatment worked very effectively. His Parkinson’s is totally under control, he had a total decline in symptoms, the tremors, shaking, stiffness, slow movement and speech problems stopped. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you
Even though there are a lot of well-known video games available nowadays, it's possible that you haven't heard of this particular one. To have a better idea of how amazing it is, you should play it for a while. five nights at freddy's
