Who me??? As if... 
(it's the medication - look up Madopar!)
I'm not looking up anyone.
Especially Madopar. How long's he been here from the sub-continent anyway?
Madopar 50mg/12.5mg and 100mg/25mg Dispersible Tablets - Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) - (eMC)4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines Madopar can cause side effects, although not everyone will get them.
See your doctor as soon as possible if you get the following side effects:
Allergic reactions. The signs include a rash and feeling itchy.
Heart beat that is uneven or is faster or slower than normal.
Bleeding in your stomach or intestines. You may see blood in your stools (they may look black and tarry) or blood when you are sick (this may look like coffee grounds).
Low numbers of all types of white blood cells.
The signs include infections of your mouth, gums, throat and lungs.
Reduced numbers of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets in your blood. This may make you feel tired, get infections more easily, or bruise more easily or have nose bleeds.
Other possible side effects:
Not known (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data)
Stomach and gut:
Loss of appetite, feeling sick or being sick or diarrhoea, particularly at the start of your treatment. To help with this, your doctor may tell you to take Madopar with some food or drink or increase your dose more slowly.
A change in the colour of your saliva, tongue, teeth or inside of your mouth.
Heart and circulation:
Feeling dizzy when you stand up. This usually gets better if your dose is lowered.
Blood:
Low numbers of red blood cells (anaemia). The signs include feeling tired, pale skin, palpitations (a fluttering sensation in your heart) and being short of breath.
Changes to your liver or blood - shown in a blood test.
Mental problems:
Feeling excited, anxious, agitated, depressed, aggressive or disorientated (the feeling of being lost).
Believing things which are not true, hallucinations (seeing and possibly hearing things that are not really there) or losing contact with reality.
Feeling sleepy, sometimes during the daytime.
Falling asleep suddenly.
Having difficulty sleeping.
Impulse Control Disorders:
You may experience an inability to resist the impulse to perform an action that could be harmful, which may include:
Strong impulse to gamble excessively despite serious personal or family consequences.
Altered or increased sexual interest and behaviour of significant concern to you or to others, for example an increased sexual drive.Uncontrollable excessive shopping or spending
Binge eating (eating large amounts of food in a short time period) or compulsive eating (eating more food than normal and more than is needed to satisfy your hunger).
Tell your doctor if you experience any of these behaviours; they will discuss ways of managing or reducing the symptoms
Others:
Unusual movements of different parts of your body which you cannot control. This may affect your hands, feet, face or tongue. Your doctor may change your dose of Madopar to help with these effects.
You may experience 'on-off' effects. This is where you can switch quite suddenly between being 'on' and able to move, and being 'off' and immobile.
An irresistible urge to move the legs and sometimes the arms.
Changes to how things taste or a loss of taste.
Redness of the face or neck.
Sweating.
Your urine (water) may become slightly red. This is not a cause for concern. It is caused by your body getting rid of the medicine.
