Pharmacy errors - given wrong medication.
Yesterday went to pick up my sinemet CR at the pharmacy. Stayed in the car, my husband went to get it. When I called in the prescription I asked for three months refill. It felt really light so I decided to take a look at it, I'm glad I did. It was only for a month however it must have been sinemet IR

Help! Overwhelmed with where to start with suppliments.
Hi everyone My husband was diagnosed with PD in February this year. He is 41. I’m trying to find out as much as I can about diet, exercise and supplements as I can to help him.

Sinemet, Mucuna Pruriens & positive experience with Ashwaghanda Root: Is the dosage of MP causing the problems: leg freezing etc.
I was diagnosed with Parkinsons age 63 1.5 yrs ago Rx Sinemex (carb/levo 25-100mg. 4 tabs a day). At first all was well; then a few months ago I started to have issues, especially deep fatigue 24/7 that was exhausting. I was so tired! Other problems as well. So I decided to try going with Mucuna Pruriens

Mucuna Pruriens
I am looking to hear from anyone who has been using the velvet bean as a source of naturally occurring source of dopamine. I was on Sinemet for about 4 years and developed dyskinesia and had to consider other options. After trying a few other medications that also came with almost immediate side effects

Sleep study
Hi all! I just wanted to encourage anyone who has severe issues in the morning to get a sleep study done even if you don’t have sleepiness during the day. I live in North Dakota and have pretty limited access to good neurologists or movement disorder specialists. I’ve only been diagnosed for a year and

Swallowing problems
I’m new here. My husband was diagnosed with PD 2 years ago. Right arm tremor and sometimes right leg. Takes Sinemet. He is now having some problem with swallowing, uncomfortable digestion ( Gallbladder ruled out). Wondering if this is all part of PD?

Sinemet and Melanoma
My dermatologist alerted me this week that Sinemet can raise your risk for melanoma. Okay - bring out the sunscreen!!

Meds not working after starting taking at bedtime
My sinemet worked fine for quite a while but I was having trouble sleeping due to stiffness so I began to take sinemet CR 200/50 at bedtime. Once I started doing this my meds during the day dropped off. They used to work for 4-5 hours each dose but now they only work for 2 hours each dose. Has anyone

Madopar vs Sinemet (& mucuna)
Neuro just put my husband on Madopar (one of the side effects being nausea...for some reason he didn't prescribe Sinemet) We were hoping to supplement with mucuna once his body gets used to the drug. My understanding is that mucuna needs the carbidopa in Sinemet to be able to cross the BBB. Does

Yet another question about mucuna pruriens
I have just started taking mucuna pruriens powder to bridge the ‘off’ periods between doses of Sinemet. Taking C/L 25/100 every 4 hours I am experiencing symptoms after 3 hours or so. My question is: Does high-protein food adversely affect the absorption of mucuna pruriens in the same way as it does

5-HTP in patients not taking Sinemet can worsen symptoms of PD
According to The Clinician's Handbook of Natural Medicine 5-Hydroxy-l-tryptophan (5-HTP) is beneficial only if used in combination with the drug Sinemet (a combination of l-dopa and decarboxylase inhibitor carbidopa). Brain serotonin is decreased in PD, but reduction in dopamine receptors is more severe

A call to upgrade our profiles to help understand each other better
In this forum, I find that I am always comparing what everyone else is taking as far as medication, supplements, exercise and diet. I think this is such a good forum for sharing of information and our experiences with this disease that we are enduring. I think it would be a good concept to share more

Sinemet MG Conversion to Zandopa MG Conversion to Madopar. Synergy between Mucuna Pruriens & Withania somnifera. B12/thiamne thoughts...
The first link is to an article about a woman who combined Zandopa with Madopar and cups of green tea for her PD symptoms. The article has to be downloaded to read the complete article (which I cut the Sinemet = Mucuna Powder = Madopar image). https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304658036_The_clinical_effects_of_mucuna_and_green_tea_in_combination_with_levodopa-benserazide_in_advanced_Parkinson

Does anyone else find sinemet makes them sleepy? My hubby's neurologist says it is a very unusual symptom...
We just had a very deflating appointment with a specialist and even though I insisted that off sinemet that hubby is not sleepy, he said maybe it was narcolepsy.
