Hi and welcome to HCM. Uricalm (Phenazopyridine) is a pain reliever that affects the lower part of your urinary tract (bladder and urethra). Phenazopyridine is used to treat urinary symptoms such as pain or burning, increased urination, and increased urge to urinate. Syndopa is used treat parkinsons disease. The most common adverse reaction with Syndopa are nausea, choreiform dystonia and other involuntary movements. Other significant reactions are convulsions, dementia and mental changes. The mental changes include paranoid ideation, psychotic episodes and depression with or without suicidal tendencies. U might be suffering from side effects of syndopa, i suggest you to consult your treating doctor if it is very bothersome to u, he may titre the dosage. All the best.

Regards
