What Causes Drowsiness And Weakness While On Pacitane And Rasalect?
Question: My father has been diagnosed with PD-currently symptoms are only trembling of hands, Dr. says that it is first stage PD- age is 67 years;
He has been told to take Ropark, Rasalect and pacetane.
I understand pacetane is for Anxiety which he is uncomfortable taking and has taken only Ropark, Rasalect as prescribed for the last 2 months
There has been considerable change ( reduced stiffness), trembling continues though, However he is dazed and there are signs of low energy levels all the time.
Kindly advise.
