    Hi.

    A Cautionary tale. Be very careful with any Agonist. It stimulates a receptor that also causes OCD,(Gambling, shopping, etc.) It can also lead to mood swings.  I know 3 others who had similar reactions. Anyone taking these meds should let who ever is helping them, know about these behavioral changes and monitor you. This can be very costly.

    I’ve had R.LS. all my life, but I’ve tried 2 different agonists. Both made me nuts.

    Hi All,

    I am finding this a good product, however this delivery system sucks (no pun intended. 20% the time I cough They say if you cough it up, use a new capsule. That’s great for them, but 1 1/2 hits seem to work fine.

    Let me make 1 correction. This is an oral inhalant. One puts a capsule into a sleeve and puncture it with the cap.. Then breathe in. There is a fan inside.

    I’m finding it difficult to control coughing. you’ve got to relax the cough reflex and inhale slowly.  I must say though that the drug seems to work well and helps me get my legs moving in morning.

    I’ll be back

    Greetings again,

    I received my sample INBRIJA  package Saturday.  I used it twice Sunday and once this morning. First account, seems to make a difference;peppier and my legs don’t ache.

    Weird ingenious device. A capsule of powder is placed in a sleeve. you prick the capsule and inhale the powder. It is tricky to figure the amount of breathe to inhale. Too much you cough.

    Well so far, unless it is a rebound effect, seems like a good product. There are a bunch of warnings, so I’m being careful, but it is only 42mg of Levadopa per dose.

    I’ll be back. Watch this space.
