Levodopa vs Other Parkinson medicines against Fatigue
Does Sinemet does a good job in improving fatigue compared to other Parkinson's medications? Case history: My mom, 58 years old was diagnosed with Parkinson's two years back. Her major symptom is Fatigue and drug induced dystonia. Then the neurologist prescribed the following set of tablets: Sinemet

Off Dyskinesia-anyone else have it? What's your fix?
Approximate 11 years into taking sinemet my pharmacy started only carrying generic versions. Which I'd when I started experiencing dyskinesia when the Carbidopa/levadopa started to wear off. And was told snd treated by a movement specialist that I was over medicated and attempted to reduce my dosage

Request for Information
Request for Information Hi from the UK, I take trihexyphenidyl (2 mg 2 x day) I want to take Citicoline but I’m sure I read somewhere that the two are not compatible as one stops the other from working. I’d be very glad if anyone has any experience of this. I am twenty years in and have been taking

Frightening Experience
Last night, we were returning from the mall and when we reached home, I could not get out of the car. My wife was driving as she always does. I had started the day off with a later than usual dose of Sinemet (25/250) and had given enough time - about an hour for the most recent dose to kick in. Yet

Mucuna without Sinemet?
Can anyone tell me how to get more symptom relief from just taking mucuna, (specifically NOW brand) alone, WITHOUT taking any Sinemet? I’ve read about green tea enhancing its effectiveness….any other ideas?

Horizant tapering
Dear All: Apologies- I might be unintentionally reposting this: I have been on Horizant for about seven months, at 600mg in the morning and 600mg in the evening (1,200 mg total). Before that, I was on 600mg Gabapentin daily for two years. Recently, my doctor and I have agreed to reduce my Horizant

Need advice on my tremor symptoms
Hi all, I would very much appreciate some advice on my symptoms. I am not on medication yet but am taking mucana, b1, l-tyryosine, b complex and magnesium. I am a year away from diagnosis. Is this typical of PD? My Dr. is unsure as well. He is going to probably put me on sinemet to see how I respond

Bladder problems..... the saga continues......
Well husband has has his bladder control review report. We alreeady know only part of it is functional. (we've been enquiring about a catheter. I guess this is the 1st step).The conclusion. His diabetic medication needs reviewing. His Sinemet may be causing the problem (even though it started long before

any CARNIVORE DIETers out there?
As an experiment, I've gone Carnivore! I have been hearing a lot of amazing testimonials recently. Many are from doctors that have done this themselves. I figured I'd try it out myself. What's the worst that can happen? I already have Parkinsons Disease! I know, I know! What about FIBERRRRR? What

K0706 Clinical Trial
I'm recently diagnosed and have not started any PD meds, though my neurologist says Sinemet would probably help my symptoms. I'm not having terrible or disruptive symptoms, just an annoying leg tremor, fatigue and stiffness. I see a PT and exercise, which really helps with the stiffness. I'm postponing

Get off Sinemet?
My husband does not have tremors, but definitely has drooling, is stooped, is stiff and slow, at times has fast gait and/ or severe hesitation with moving, all classic PD symptoms as well as has some cognitive decline. Diagnosed with atypical PD in May 2022. He is doing many wonderful alternative therapies

Parkinson's wife
My husband was diagnosed about 4 years ago though I suspect Parkinsons was developing long before that. Main problem - neither Sinemet or Madopar has any effect on bradykinesia or tremor (let alone the non motor symptoms)and increasing medication e.g. Neupro patch = rotigotine dopamine agonist only

Food and "off" times
Hi Everyone! Recently I've had frustrating issues with eating a meal followed by "off" times of a few hours. I know about keeping proteins away from sinemet as they compete for the same receptors in the gut. I can time my dose of sinemet (a generic, 25/100, 3 x day) an hour before eating a meal, feeling

Practical suggestions for PWP.....Hedge against medication scarcity.
With the increasing prospect of medication scarcity as most of our meds in the U.S. and elsewhere are manufactured predominantly in China and India, we should all take measures to protect ourselves. I always reorder my meds on time even if i still have some remaining. I save the rest. At times i
