I used to get swollen feet, ankles and legs while on DA's, I used to take water tabs but they made no difference, I've been fine since coming off DA's never had a problem since!
I had similar experience to Gill. I tried all the dopamine agonists (DA's) and they all caused oedema. At one stage I couldn't get any of my shoes on, however it was only my left side that swelled (coincidentally, my left side is the one predominant with PD). As soon as I stopped the DA's the oedema went away. Out of all the DA's Ropinerole caused the most problems; however, this was probably because I was on the highest recommended dose (24mg). When I was on a low dose of DA combined with Levodopa the oedema calmed down but remained troublesome. I’m now on Sinemet plus and have had no problems with oedema.
Hi Ali, I have swollen feet and ankles too and I`m also on Mirapexin, I`m being weaned off them, another month should do it.I`ve been wearing a size larger shoe, hopefully i`ll be able to get back into my normal sized ones again.
Hi Cutiepie, I`m also on Madopar 62.5 four a day, I have to phone my pd nurse next week to let her know how i`m doing then I only have 2 mirapexin to be weaned off. I actually feel better, less tired now.
My husband legs and feet swell and also his tummy . He is taking Sinemet along with the Neuro Patch . His mobility is very poor I am sure that the extra weight is not helping
