"I got some because I was taking a vacation in the German/Austrian Alps and needed something to keep me from being nauseated. Got the 1.5 milligram patch, put it behind my ear, and was amazed at how it changed my Parkinson symptoms. Before the patch, I had to use a walker (rollator) and a cane, and I noticed I was not as off-balance as I usually am and attributed it to the patch. Came home and talked to my doctor about how I felt, and he decided to put me on it long term, but to watch carefully for side effects. I am walking through my house now without any assistance but do take the rollator outside because I have 2 very energetic dogs and am afraid they may knock me over."

"Since I am 90 years old, I do not qualify for this medication as 65 years old is the oldest. However, since I am on hospice, I assume anything goes. I took the 1 mg patch for relief from Parkinson's drool, which it cured in 12 hours. However, it unfortunately caused my magic BM aid I was taking to not work, so I was then given a white powder to mix with water for having BMs, which was also rendered not to work. So, after 7 days and no BMs, it becomes scary. However, since it had been 2-3 days since I stopped taking the patch, everything blew up; I had the BMs big time. Plus, I became nauseous and threw up big time, even my complete dinner that I had consumed 6 hours ago. This was all repeated two times, after which I then read all about it online, but in my case, too late. So perhaps if one took the white powder/JODY more often, it may be worth it; otherwise, the nausea becomes unbearable. And all the bad stuff will happen 24 hours after once one stops taking or withdraws from the patch."
