Default Handy site to check drug interactions, side effects

www.doublecheckMD.com

Type the drugs you are taking in one box and any unusual symptoms in a second (optional) and it will give you a pretty thorough rundown on what to watch for.

This is a fantastic history and literature review of levodopa. It also dispels the myth that it's detrimental to begin therapy with levodopa in young onset cases.

Default Useful tips, info on PD

There are a couple sites I find myself returning to that are pretty good, but I'm new to this forum and don't have permission to post links yet. I like to visit Northwest Parkinson's Foundation quite a bit - they keep their news links up to date. I also like Davis Phinney Foundation - they seem to have a little bit different slant and more information for what you can do besides drugs.
