Hi my name is Joe
I have a recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s and I take levodopa. I have started binge eating some mornings. I rarely have an urge to binge during the day. Anyone else have this problem and how can I manage it.
Hi and welcome to our friendly forum, Joe. We have a great and supportive group of members here who will be along shortly to say hello and share their own experiences.
Many people have loss of appetite when on levodopa so it will be interesting to hear how many others have the opposite happen. On the other hand, binging is an impulsive or compulsive behaviour, something Parkinson’s itself or the medications can exacerbate. You can read more about this at Impulsive and compulsive behaviours in Parkinson's | Parkinson's UK.
Looking forward to hearing more about you in the future, Joe.
