Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 This is a post from the BrainTalk forum and I have the same question, although our problem is complicated by needing coumadin. ******************************************* We finally gave step-father the Ultram today for severe hip pain, and it was a disaster. It caused increased hallucinations, complete disorientation that lasted more than 12 hours, and worsened the Parkinson's symptoms = muscle rigidity, tardive dykenesia (grimacing, lip smacking etc), inability to move his feet or legs, and did not touch the pain. Back to Motrin now and waiting for the Ultram to clear his system overnight, so we can see where we are. The combinaton of Parkinson's & DLBD is very difficult to prescibe for. Has anyone found a safe pain med? II at www.braintalk.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 So far, we have not had any problems with Advil, Aleve or Tylenol. Not strong pain relievers, but some help at least. ~Marilyn lelca@... wrote: > This is a post from the BrainTalk forum and I have the same question, although our problem is complicated by needing coumadin. > ******************************************* > > We finally gave step-father the Ultram today for severe hip pain, and it was a disaster.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 Advil can cause internal bleeding. My Dad, who died of LBD, took advil daily for the back pain of the Parkinson symptoms of LBD. He had tried Ultram, but it gave him a terrible reaction of extreme hallucinations after less than one day's dose, so we took him off that immediately. Anyway, he developed bloody diarrhea, and became listless and couldn't get his breath, so we took him to emergency at local hospital. They said the intestinal bleeding may have been caused by the daily use of Advil. Leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 My husband takes Celebrex and ibuprofin. His legs are now starting to burn and I'm not sure why.
