why are my pupils dilated in the evening and why do I get olfactory hallucinations?
I was started on 1 tab of sinemet 3x's per day, needed more it seemed, my doc increased to 2 tabs 3x's per day of the 25/100. still had alot of off time. heard about taking 1 tab 6x's per day and that helped with coverage but caused the dilation and hallucinations or at least i think it did because

10 months since starting on a Keto Diet and still on Zero Medication - progress report :-)
Update17.04.2019 So, currently I’m somewhere between Keto Diet LCHF and Full Carnivore with Intermittent Fasting. Delighted to say that my diarrhoea gradually cleared up and was possibly caused by a bug rather than carnivory. I’ve cut back on my coffee intake, take a (very) cold shower when I get up

L Dopa, the drug which makes Parkinson's worse?
What do you think? From my negative experience of Sinemet, I surmise that it brings some initial improvement in movement issues along with some devastating side effects. It wears off, so more is taken, and after a while dyskinesias can occur solely because of the drug. Also 'on - off' can occur due to

Focused Ultrasound in Switzerland
I have decided to see if I can have focused ultrasound at Sonimodul clinic in Switzerland. The neurologist there has the most experienced and 2 friends have had excellent results. I’ve collated lots of information for anyone who’s interested. https://sonimodul.ch https://www.frontiersin.org/articles

Just joined this group.....feedback welcome.
I was diagnosed 3 months ago. I'm a 51 y.o. male. My symptoms started a few years ago with the tip of my left finger feeling "pressured." That's the best way I can describe. That was followed by carpal tunnel doctor, then I got a frozen shoulder, then a neuroma in my left foot, then odd sensations in

Rytary vs Sinemet
Has anyone compared these name brands as opposed to comparing generics? I’m going to switch from Rytary to Sinemet. For me , Rytary is bad news. Afraid it would cost me my marriage. Good C/L 50/200 is N/A in the PNW. Gotta go name brand in my opinion.

DOES B1 Thiamin Help In extending the on Period of Sinemet?
Hi friends, for those Pwp using sinemet with B1,who feels B1 has been effective,would you say B1 helps to prolong the effect of sinemet. I am currently getting decreased on period with sinemet and I don't want to increase my dose.Would you advise to try B1 therapy for increased effect of sinemet? Your

Hello, I am new
My Mum is 82 and for 3 or 4 years has been showing signs of dementia and apathy. She began to have backwards falls. In addition her right hand (and since her whole arm) has become spastic and terribly painful. She can't move it at all now and it remains tightly clenched under her bosom. Her left hand

dosage of B1 powder
I have been impressed with the positive postings of taking vitamin B1. I want to venture on taking Thiamine hcl high dosage in POWDER form but don't know where I can find instructions on how to take it except from this forum. Has anyone out there has any positive experience and suggestions? I'm 83

Sinemet not available in Italy
Sinemet has not been found in Italy since 15/20 days. Those who use 100+25 must have their family doctor fill out a form to request the drug "Levocomp" abroad, to be precise in Germany. For other dosages it is not possible to purchase abroad for which a therapeutic alternative is necessary. Already in

Looking for relief on shuffling and freezing during off periods. These symptoms are driving me nuts....
Hey guys. I would like to have any recommendations may work to you all having similar disgusting episodes. It hurts my self esteem and erodes my strength. I have been with PD over 12 years now and I am able to deal with most symptoms like tremors, dystonia, stiffness, rigidity, muscle pain, hallucination

Relief from Artane but none with Sinemet
I’m curious if anyone else has had symptom relief while taking Artane after levodopa provided no relief? My neurologist had me on Sinemet, eventually up to 3 tablets 4x a day. During this time I didn’t experience any symptom relief. He recently had me try Artane, and after taking 1/2 tablet 2x a day

Fava beans
Does anyone eat them? And in what form? After reading about fava beans as a natural source of dopamine, I started eating fresh steamed beans in salads almost daily. I do take Sinemet 25-100 3 times daily along with Rasagiline. In PA, USA they are available, seasonally, at Wegman’s as Melissa’s steamed

Brand name Sinemet versus Generic Sinemet
I am starting to wonder if my on/off extreme motor fluctuations are due to the various manufacturers of generic Sinemet. I am contemplating whether to ask my doctor (movement disorders specialist) to prescribe me the brand name version of Sinemet. Has anyone else experienced a difference in the response

viral gastroenteritis — often called stomach flu and Sinemet
Just Sharing. Stomach flu can be a relatively simple infection for a healthy person, which I am. But I have PD and I take Sinemet and Selegiline. Here is what happened: I got the effects of the bug and diarrhea started, muscle soreness and fatigue followed quickly thereafter. I had no appetite but
