Tremors-sinemet/ropinirole

[Erniediaz1018]

Is anyone taking sinemet and ropinirole together? And is it alleviating tremors. I have tremors on my right arm and these meds are not doing anything to relieve it.

I have been taking these meds together for 6 months and have not seen my tremor are less

[Erniediaz1018 in reply to fwreck]

My husband takes sinemet (2 1/2) every 4:ish hours and Symmetral/Amantadine twice a day - I read that the symmetral helps with the side effects of carbidopa levadopa/ sinemet... I don't know what ropinirole is - Look on wikipedia - kindof interesting. You may need to play with dosages. Different for everyone. We have been lucky with the tremor and rigidity issues - the meds??? Quien sabe??? Who knows😐

you can take Indral for tremors only

[Erniediaz1018 in reply to Farooqji]

I have tried this one day the tremors didn't stop plus it gave me an undesired side effect (no erection) . But the tremors didn't stop. Should I have given it more time

[Farooqji in reply to Erniediaz1018]

How much dose had you taken

[Erniediaz1018 in reply to Farooqji]

40 mg one dose

[Farooqji in reply to Erniediaz1018]

Thank you for the feedback

Inderal (propranolol) works extremely well for me for tremors. But it will lower your blood pressure sharply, so I only take it for situations where I know my tremor will be particularly noisy.

[BruceDavies]

Propranolol didn't work for me. Also, I read somewhere that might increase the progression of Parkinson's.

[Erniediaz1018 in reply to BruceDavies]

Thank you Bruce.
