Hi,
Unfortunately, there is no specific medication treatment, non-pharmacological, and no surgical approach to congenital cerebellar degeneration. Ubi q is an antioxidant whose biochemical properties allow it to support energy production chemical reactions within cells. However, this is not in and of itself a way of stopping or reversing the chronic neuro-degenerative process. We do not understand how or why this process begins in the first place. It is not an unreasonable pharmaco agent to use but there is nothing any more specific either so I think you can continue using it.
The major side effects of this medication are the following:
Gastric discomfort
loss of appetite
diarrhea
nausea
skin rash, and
heart burn
If are not suffering from any of these side effects...or even if you are and the symptoms are mild or tolerable perhaps, it would be reasonable to ask your doctor whether or not you can INCREASE the dose. to see if more effect can be realized. Another form of treatment for this disorder would be to engage in VESTIBULAR REHABILITATION which can address your symptoms of imbalance.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Wish you the best of health.
Thank you.
Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
