High Dose Sinemet
My 97 yr old mum was finally given a diagnosis of atypical Parkinson's after a DAT scan. She's been treated for 8 years. A few months ago she was given Opicapone. I thought it was the answer to my prayers until she started hearing music and finally after 5 weeks hallucinating badly. I titrated her

Cold, sweaty tingly feeling after breakfast
Today after eating his breakfast at 9.45 my husband said he got a cold tingling sweaty feeling and had to lie down. He had his sinemet and uridine an hour or so before so I don’t think it was that. Do you have any idea about what that feeling might be? He thought it seemed like when you get a stomach

Profuse sweating.
I have found if I am late in taking my sinemet. Or forget to watch when or what I eat . The sweat literally drips off my face and hair. Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Parkinson's RX not helping
Shaking of Left Hand, Wrist, Thumb, Fingers, not necessarily at the same time, is resistant to RX Treatment with Mirapex, Sinemet, Rytary, Gabapentin and others. Cramping is significant problem and shake can go from severe to violent. Only modifier is Oxycodone and THC for PM use to reduce pain and

Wallowing in the Trough of Carbidopa and Benserazide
I hesitate to even start a thread that is heresy to many, many PD sufferers, many self proclaimed pharmacologists/biochemists on this forum and many of their physicians as well. It is all about a couple of PD drugs that can go very deadly if used inappropriately. Please realize, if you can do so, that

Changing Sinemet to Madopar : bad experiences ??
Hi everybody ! Due to the unbelievable fact that Sinemet no longer will be available in Switzerland, I had to change from Dopadura 25/100 (that I already toke as a replacement for Sinemet 25/100) to Madopar 125 (25/100) also three times a day. Since about 5 days the stiffness is getting worse and also

Rytary
My doc thinks I might have better success with Rytary than with Sinemet, which brought on a lot of foot contortion and rigidity. Have you tried Rytary? If so, what was your experience?

Mine have spread rapidly and it causes distress. I'm taking Ropinerole 5 mg, Sinemet 25-100 four times daily. Nothing seems to help much.... Any new treatments around?

Just a little about me, diagnosed June 2016, started with sinemet 100mg three times a day, now three years later meds look like this. Sinemet 250mg four times a day, requip 2mg once daily extended release. Having problems with dyskinesia, bad leg and foot cramps, will be seeing a new neurologist in October

Tapering off sinemet replacement of Mucuna
Good day, I'm 48 and recently switched to a vegan diet. I suffer from Parkinson's but take only the min dose of sinemet daily. Half 100/25 x 3 daily. Since moving to veganism (my doctor provided pretty convincing evidence it helps a Parkinson's brain) my negative side effects from the sinemet are quite
