Sinemet CR
I have recently been prescribed Sinemet CR in addition to my usual meds of Stalevo and Requip XL to help with sleep problems. However, in addition to them not helping with sleep my tremor seems to be quite a bit worse. I go back to the hospital next week and wondered if my tremor problems would be due

Sinemet CR and sleep
I have recently been prescribed Sinemet CR to help with my sleep, or rather lack of it. I take 4 x Stalevo 100mg and 1x8mg Requip XL daily. I have been taking last Stalevo at about 7pm and Sinemet at about 10pm when going to bed as advised. I am still waking after about 2 hours. I know a lot of people

Help! - I need sleep
I was wondering whether anyone has had any positive, or otherwise, experience when taking Sinemet Plus? I was taking Stalevo 100 4 times a day and Requip XL 8mg once a day but was recently given Sinemet Plus 25mg in addition. My sleep pattern was at the most 2 hours after going to bed and then usually

Can this happen really
I just moved to amarillo texas from clovis new mexico went to walgreens to get my requip xl transfered and the pharmachy in clovis wouldn't transfer it. He said he would lose to much money. Can they do that? This will be my third day without pills. I called doc and had a new scrip sent to walgreens

Sleep Patterns
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem. No matter what time I go to bed I always wake up at 1.30 am. When I wake I am always sure it is morning. I then have to get up as my tremor is so annoying. Have tried taking Stalevo and Requip at different times, but nothing works. I then

Hello from a new boy
Hello Everyone - I have been diagnosed for 9 years and am better now than i was 4 years ago. I put that down to seeing a marvellous Neuorlogist in Cambridge (not my home town) who recommended Azilect as an adddition to my Sinemet Plus and Amantadine and to change my Ropinirole to Requip XL. This change

I find I can control my tremor
It is about 6 years since I was diagnosed and my tremor is now in my right arm and leg, only to be expected I know that. At the moment, as directed by my Parkinsons nurse, I am experimenting with taking my meds at different times and sometimes before, sometimes with and other times after food. Sometimes

Getting worse!!!
I am so frustrated!! I am 53 and by my movements I act like I am 103!! I take Requip XL 4 times a day plus Azilect and I am not showing any steady reaction. I know PD is a progressive disease but Good Lord, I am getting worse everyday. I called my Dr. and he referred me to a Dr. @ the OU Medical

Does anyone else shout out in their sleep?
I have always had dreams and can remember most of them, but just recently I have started talking and shouting in my sleep. My husband says I speak quite clearly, but strangely enough I can never remember what these dreams are about. I assume that this something to do with meds but have been unable to

Do our bodies get used to our meds?
I have already commented on the fact that my meds are not doing their job at the moment. This has happened to me before and usually rights itself. I have a hospital appointment soon, if it does not. I was wondering if I am getting used to taking the same meds - Stalevo and Requip XL, as I have been

'wearing off' and meds
I take Stalevo and Requip XL. I have been rereading answers to this question which was posed recently. My 'wearing off' takes a slightly different form. I find that for a period of days I get very little relief from my tablets. Sometimes they do not seem to work at all and sometimes only for very short

Problems experienced while on Requip XL?
I tak 6mg of Requip daily and thought I did not have any problems with this. However, I am now wondering whether cramps, etc. in my lower legs, etc. can be attributed to Requip? I would be grateful to know of any problems people have experienced whilst taking Requip, however minor, before I keep my

Comments on Madopar and Requip XL
Currently taking 22mg Requip XL once a day at 7:30am .I've already tried Sinemet but they made me feel worse.PD nurse suggested Madopar dissolvable , 1x 62.5mg a day before i get up as i have mobility problems first thing in the morning. Does anyone out there have any experience of this combination?

I have noticed that a lot of y'all are on requip XL but at a low dosage. Is it because of the other meds you are taking that you
don't need as much of it? Requip was the first meds (along with Zelapar) my neuro 's put me on. The highs and lows of the regular requip about did me in. So, I've been on the XL for a few years- still does a # on my stomach but it works most days. I just started amantadine and am wondering if (all goes

Are you at your best morning or later on?
I find that I am better in the morning and decline during the day. Evenings my tablets often don't seem to work for very long and sometimes not at all. Now that I take a Stalevo during the night, I usually function reasonably well until I take another at 7 a.m. After breakfast, I take 6mg of Requip

stopping dopamine agonist to start taking sinamet, how long to give in between?
I have been taking Pramipexole for a week and a half, before that Requip xl, 6mg for a year. I have to completely stop taking Prami for a week before starting Sinamet. This is going to be hard as its technically going "cold turkey". Is there anything I can do to clear Prami from my system faster
