You can try adding an MAO-B inhibitor such as Azilect or selegiline and see if it reduces your need for levodopa medication.

Lightly dip a cottonball in rubbing alcohol and smell it. I tried this tip to help with nausea when I began PD meds. Seems strange but it helped me.

Maybe you should drop the Entacapone.

I asked my doctor and he refused. He says my parkinsons is too advanced. Diagnosed at 62 and I am 74.

Domperidone is very effective though you will probably have to have an ECG to check it won't affect your heart . After a month or so the nausea may wear off. I find if i take medication on an empty stomach it's much more likely to cause nausea. Have a piece of toast or similar carbohydrate before taking the medication but don't eat anything containing protein as this may stop the medication working.

Domperidone worked wonders for me. My neurologist gave me an RX for a Canadian pharmacy. I took it for a week, and my nausea disappeared and hasn't returned 8 years later.

Thank you. I will mention it to my doctor in my next visit, hopefully he will give me an RX.

I am Australian, here it is prescribed by the doctor and supplied by the local pharmacy. I understand that in the US you need to buy it from on line Canadian pharmacies.

I only get nausea if I over medicate my Sinemet, it is a fine line, what dosage are you on ?.

I take Trimethobenzamide 300MG. It helps me. It is expensive, though.
