Daily “zaps” and feeling I’ll

Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

My husband was diagnosed with non motor PD 8 years ago

He is usually ok during the mornings but at

about 1500 a change takes place from

being calm and feeling Ok to being nervous and feeling ill.

At 1530 he takes the Sinomet and feels bad after that. This goes on for a couple of hours. ( He can feel ill before or after the pills)

At 1830 having felt ok for an hour or so he takes the next dose and within 15 minutes feels very fragile and quite ill and can’t do or want to do anything, other than sit or lie down till it passes. This may take from 2-3 hours but leaves him feeling weak and drained. His walking is bad during this time

His medication is as follows

2x Sinemet at 0830/1130/1530/ 1.5 pills at 1830/ half at 2230

Plus Nupatch 2mg/ Ongentys, melatonin and Clonazepam at night

( Sinemet CR does not suit him)

Does anyone else have this problem or can anyone give us any ideas as to what might be the cause or could help. Any suggestions will be gratefully received
