I have a bad habit of over dosing when I'm in an off time.
I take a total of 8 stalevo 200mgs and 7 Sinemet EQ 100mgs during the day. My off periods are extremely terrible and at times I'll crush 1 or 2 EQ's and take with ginger ale. One time I had taken a Stalevo at 6pm , 2 EQ's at 6:45, 1 EQ at 7:00 and one at 7:15. I took my Stalevo again at 8:30 then of

Opicapone
My husband was given Opicapone about 18 months ago but stopped taking it for some reason. He started taking it again just over a month ago. He found immediate improvement with it eg. not having to go to the toilet so often during the night but he is finding it difficult to get the correct dose. It does

On/Off period caused by Sinemet. Anyone taking dopamine agonist and/or MAO inhibitors experience on/offs?
I found in the web an interesting info about a disclaimer contained in the package insert of Sinemet distributed in Australia. It warns as a “side effect the on/off periods may occur to some people after one year use where people may lose their ability to move from minutes to hours then can move again

PD and speech
My symptoms are largely under control with sinemet, with no sign of speech problems. The local Parkinson support group offers a music therapy program. Does anyone have experience with music therapy for Parkinsons people?

Meditation as treatment?
My first post. Two years ago dx'd with MS. Then a year later the neuros decided it's PD. I was on sinemet for a year with no change in the hand tremor. I have no other signs of PD. I understand that exercise is the only remedy that helps PD. I was a distance runner for over 30 years til this

Dopamine agonist withdrawal
Hello to all, I am looking for advice, support and somewhere to whine. I wrote before as I have got off a daily dose of SR pramipexole .75 mg and 1 tab sinemet 100/25. I took 6 weeks to do it . My dr wanted me to do it more quickly but I did not, having struggled through the whole misery once before

Sinemet 25/100 not available again UK
I've been told by my pharmacy that they can't fulfill my sinemet order again and I need to ask my doctor for an alternative. I can't get an appointment with my neurologist until January. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Have I been expecting too much? Comments and opinions welcome ....
Hi All I've posted before about Madopar and Sinemet not working for me and it's still not doing a great deal to help. At my 6-monthly chat with my neurologist recently I was keen to explore with him other issues like :- 1. Is he sure it's PD (could it be MSA or another PD+ mimic?) 2. Homeopathic / alternative

Switching off dopamine agonists to tramadol and lyrica

WHY IS CARBIDOPA USED IN COMBINATION WITH LEVODOPA IN DRUGS SUCH AS SINEMET?
This is a question that I have heard different answers for in different places on the web, but never was quite sure what the exact reason was, but I have noticed that there is a group who believes that Carbidopa itself can be a problem and would prefer alternatives to Carbidopa while some people use

Madopar VS Sinemet
My MDS decided to switch me to Madopar after my 5yrs horrible experiences (side effects) with various grades of Sinemet. He is aware that Zandopa (a brand of Mucuna) gives me far better relief (based on my testimony) than the Sinemet. Hence, he doesn't have any issue with my mucuna usage and even prescribed

Trying Sinemet
Amazing how you can get different diagnosis from a new neurologist and start down a new treatment path with optimism. This neurologist is all for Carbidopa Levadopa and CBD and Cannabis. We saw some improvement in stiffness and increases in sleepiness and drooling. Apparently the concept that melanoma
