Changing Meds to balance motor fluctuation and dyskinesia - Still working on it.
Since I had been on Stalevo he suggested I change to Sinamet with the same strength but without the addition of
entacapone
that comes in Stalevo. A few days after my visit I got the Sinamet and made the switch. What a terrible experience!

Sinemet/entacapone foot twisting
Hello, I am new to this journey and I have had my meds increased (sinemet) 3.5 pills a day with
entacapone
. After the third pill of the day my affected side left foot has uncontrollable twisting/movement and muscle cramps, walking gets bad on that side.

Adding meds
He also ordered Comtan (
entacapone
) 1 tab 6 times/daily with the C/P. I seem to have more "off" times and just want to feel As "normal" as possible. Is there any one out there who can identify with this? Does this med regime work for you?

The possible dangers of EGCG.
This posting is a followup raising issues about the combination of EGCG + Salmon oil + Vitamin C or quercetin/bromelain with levodopa as a substitute for Carbidopa/levodopa (EGCG....levodopa) or
Entacapone
+ levodopa (quercetin + levodopa). The forth posting in the thread.

Difference between Sinemet and Madopar (Co-beneldopa)
I take 100mg madopar and 200mg
entacapone
every 3 hours, [i] i find increasingly that it's pretty disastrous to eat protein at anytime as the ldopa stops working and my body stops functioning and [/i] feel really terrible.

Twitches between sinemet doses
Nothing seems to help; Azilect,
Entacapone
, Amantedine... She has difficulties with eating because of severe nausea and vomiting... She never had a tremors only muscle rigidity and pain, the sinemet used to help her with this but the twitches are horrible. Has anyone had something like that. Thanks

Irregular heart beat
He takes Sinemet and
entacapone
. Shortly after taking his medication (every 3hours) he feels very weak . When I check his BP it is often very low and shows "irregular heart beat" I feel it is the medication rather than "off" time. I don't often contribute to the PD community.

Reducing madopar
I have been taking between 800 - 900 mg of madopar per day with 5
entacapone
. Yesterday and today I have taken my usual 100mg slow release at 7 am but am substituting 50mg for the 3 hourly 100mg and have only taken 2
entacapone
. So i'm taking just under half of the previous dose.

Am seeking experiences and opinions from those who have taken Entacapone, (Comtan).
Entacapone
is a COMT inhibitor, prescribed, in my case, to enhance the effects of levadopa/carbidopa. However, after reading the lengthy list of possible side effects and warnings, I'm having second thoughts. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Botox & Other Meds
I tried
Entacapone
side effects tremor & balance and Neupro patch numerous side effects. I also take Paxil and .50 mg Clonzapam at bedtime. I feel like I could handle the Parkinson's symptoms, as bad as they are, if I could get relief from the Dystonia. Any suggestions??? Hugs, Terri

I am a firm believer in IBUPROFEN. I have been taking a small dose of about 10 - 20 ml of FENAPAED, which is a child's format - and kinder
I take 7 x 125mg MADOPAR and 3 x 0.36mg (each dose being 2 x 0.18mg) PRAMIPEXOLE together with 7 x 200mg
ENTACAPONE
(quite a lot of meds!)

Stalevo
I just worry about the other stuff alongside the levodopa - the 25mg cardopa and 200mg
entacapone
in every single tablet. I've experimented with Stalevo 100, 150 and 200 but when I tried 4 x 150 recently I was freezing between doses.

15years taking Ibuprofen, Parkinson's has plateaued!
This intake is now 8 x 125mg together with
Entacapone
plus Pramipexole. Around 1993, I used to have lots of friends who drank quite a lot of alcohol. So I used to suffer hangovers. These became tolerable with some Ibuprofen - which also helped me sleep.

Recognizing the Progression of Parkinson's Disease Symptoms
When the effectiveness of Sinemet or Parcopa begins to wear off (its effects will last for increasingly shorter periods of time as the disease progresses), you will need to increase the amount of medication, or add another medication called a COMT inhibitor [Comtan (
entacapone
); Tasmar (tolcapone)] that

I'm struggling for some time feeling most uncomfortable condition after I take the medicine viz. Syncapone 150 -(this is the combination
of Carbidopa, Levodopa and
Entacapone
tablets). For a while I can't make out which is going on in my brain. Even I can't understand. I get scared! My Neurologist could not give satisfactory explanation. I continue to suffer.

Does anyone have any imput/comment on this? As everyone says, diagnosis doesn't change anything, but it helps to structure the future.
The sinemet, ropinerole, and
entacapone
still seem to alleviate the symptoms they are meant for, but of course have no effect on the bradykinesia and its ultimate falls.
