Started with Sinemet for 10 days but could not tolerate it and, since then, I am on 6 tablets of Sifrol 0.18 per day (2/2/2). This dose of sifrol improved my general

Intermittent RLS: why carbidopa/levodopa????
Can anyone enlighten me as to why the Mayo Clinic suggests carbidopa/levodopa (sinemet) as prn therapy as opposed to ropinorole/pramipexole? I used to have persistent RLS (managed with ropinorole) which thankfully stopped after I stopped my SSRI. Now it’s intermittent and I can’t understand why I should

Meds not working well again
My PD husband and has been taking 4 or 5 sinemet 50/250 CR for about a year and started using neuropro patch 2mg 6 months ago. He was on madopar for several years prior, but it was never right for him. Suddenly it seems his meds aren't working and the pd symptoms are severe again. The neurologist

Addiction to Sinemet
I am a 79 year old widow and have been traveling the maze of Parkinson's since 2014. It seems like as soon as I find a neurologist I like they either move or retire. I have to travel 100 miles to my movement specialist. I have become very disappointed with him in the last couple of years. I'm lucky

Hubby is experiencing this the last few weeks and it seems to happen during wearing off, it’s an awful cough and tight chest

? about stiffness, I may have hit my peak🥺
Hey guys, I have been diagnosed for 2 years now and had a wake up call. I was stuck in a hotel and not out doing much moving. Then I had a chance and walked a lot. When I stopped I could barely sit down, the pain was significant. When I tried to stand it was very difficult. Back to the hotel, same thing

Seeking Rytary experience and feedback
I'm switching from sinemet to Rytary because of the fewer doses throughout the day. I'm struggling with the morning dose. It makes my off time worse and I end up taking 1 sinemet after 1 - 2 hours to relieve symptoms (primarily slow movement and rigidity). The Rytary seems to be effective after my

Selegiline - Noticeably improved symptoms
My new neurologist started me on Selegiline 10 mg/day. In two weeks I reduced my Sinemet from two pills per day to one. My tremor is much calmer and I feel more clear. So far no negative side effects and I take the first 5 mg on an empty stomach.
