Has anyone taken Madopar instead of Sinemet and if so have you had any unpleasant side effects. Is it effective?

Parkinson’s Madopar versus Sinemet!

[albachiara2]

Il sinemet non ha apportato alcun miglioramento, il madopar sì. Ma da subito mi ha provocato discinesie e fluttuazioni

I started on sinamet then moved to madapor when I changed neuros. Couldn’t tell the difference really. They both seem to work for me.My neurologist said the reason he used M and not S was as M can be broken into quarters, which I started on many years ago.

I was prescribed sinemet but it wasnt available at the time, so i got madopar, i takes 125mg at 7am, 62.5mg at 1pm and 62.5 mg at 6pm, so far so good

I had G I side effects from Sinemet, and switched to Madopar (Actually Prolopa,which is the Canadian version)) and I am now on a high dose, with no side effects at all.

And I take no supplements.

Good luck!

Madopar works well but for me, it does like an empty stomach

Works well for me, been on it for 7 years, only issue is mild dyskinesia which would happen with any levodopa medication.
