As I said earlier I was on Sinamet, but it really made me sick. He put me on Miramex, which did stop the dry heaves, but now the tremors are horrible as is walking and speech. I see the Neurologist in a couple of weeks and hope to go back on Sinamet. Has anyone else had this with different meds?
Miramex: As I said earlier I was on Sinamet... - Cure Parkinson's
Miramex
Some people have been helped by taking smaller doses of the sinemet more often thus reducing the nausea.
The first dose was 6/ day. For a month then it was gradually changed to Miramex. Tremors didn't start right away, but really bad now.. hoping he can come up with something that will help me.
I am surprised your doctor did not prescribe extra carbidopa to relieve your tummy ache.
He did.. anti nausea , but I wanted something different. He is an amazing Neurologist .. and I'm going to have to learn to trust him
Six Sinemet a day is a lot to start with, I was put on 3 ( 25/100) no tremors yet .
I have found that drinking a full 16 ounce bottle of water with each dose helps amazingly with the nausea.
Domperidone has been an incredibly effective tool against sinemet-induced nausea. It has to be purchased through Canadian pharmacies but I found that to be easy.
sinemet will make you sick if you take it on empty stomach. You have to eat some crackers or something before you take it. What strength were you on. I am up to 100mg now and it works if I eat first. I also use Neuro patchs 6mg and take the sinemt 4 times a day. Be sure to eat something.

Yes...try taking half a pill. I still get nauseated but it only lasts a few min. It's tough but we have to experiment and no 2 PDers are alike. Try and keep your sinamet dose down as side affects...dyskinesia.... can be worse than your PD
