Nausea

[Menchita1017]

Hello everyone,

I am taking Carbidoba Levadopa with Entacapone , the nauseas are unbearable.

is there anything I can do to minimize this problem.

Any advise?

Happy New Year!!!!

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.

wear a motion sickness band; costs about $10

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.

Happy New Year!!!

I swear by domperidone.

Thank you so much . where do you get it? how do you take it ?

[Joynb in reply to Menchita1017]

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.

Ginger works for morning sickness. Worth a shot least it natural.
