Rx vs. Supplements your thoughts please
Why do I think I would be better to use supplements rather than prescription drugs? Is it because I believe big Pharma’s main objective is to make money rather than help cure? Why do I think taking Levocarb and Sinemet will have negative results somewhere in my body? Is it because, when listening to

Worse before better
Does anyone find that when they take Sinemet that they worse e.g. My cramp/dystonia gets worse before it gets better and if I try to have a 50 between doses if I feel I am going off if I don't time it exactly right I go off anyway and have to wait for the next round of drugs which take an hour to kick

Using carbonated drinks to take Sinemet.
When I was recovering from back surgery, spinal fusion to fix sciatica pain I had down both legs, I was introduced to the idea of using ginger ale when I take Sinemet. I was at Medstar Georgetown University hospital and was visited by a doctor and a few students. It seemed to work faster. On top of that

Will taking mucuna pruriens (instead of Sinemet) prevent peripheral neuropathy?
Is the peripheral neuropathy a side effect of Carbidopa, or a reaction to the downtime from Sinemet? My friend had been using Mucuna Pruriens, but I recently discovered it only contained 15% L-dopa and would like to get a higher grade, maybe 98% though I wonder if a 40% powder or capsule would work better

Post DBS Surgery
I am now nine weeks out from surgery. Last week I used my regulator to increase the voltage being sent to my brain. I was rewarded by feeling more energy and also being able to reduce my Sinemet 25/100 by one. Last week I walked to my mailbox and upon removing the mail, decided to walk a bit around

Sudden worsening of symptoms
Earlier this week, my husband was doing really well overall (he's on sinemet, Neupro and amantadine, btw). Then 3 days ago, his condition deteriorated terrifyingly quickly. He can no longer get in/out of bed or chairs, walk unassisted, or dress himself. Not interested in food. Some disorientation

Has anyone tried Nuplazid for Hallucination?
My husband, 81 yrs old has vivid and frightening hallucinations that seem to reduce/improve if he SKIPS a dose of Sinemet now & then. Does the drug contribute to this problem?

Losing my mind!
I have rls in my feet, legs, hands and arms. It has gotten out of control. Requip was not working after about 6 years. Just started Sinemet 2 days ago and it is doing nothing. I twitch about 20 out of 24 hours. I have been getting , at most, 2 hours of sleep with occasional 5-10 minute dozes. I don't

Post DBS Surgery
Good morning all! I am now 7 weeks since my DBS surgery. Yes! That is the answer if anyone asks if I am happy with my decision to have the surgery. I am now walking briskly each day, active with my bookkeeping clients, and have rejoined society as an active participant. I am also "in training"

Morning dystonia
Does anyone have a solution for morning dystonia caused by levodopa. Someone suggested nepro patch can help. I have to wait to take Sinemet which although causes it also stops it. So I have to wait an,hour or two every morning with this awful till I can take first Sinemet. I was looking for non med solutions

Breakfast
I keep reading that Sinemet is only for movement. Then hoe come I can no longer eat or drink before taking it in morning anymore. I feel like it has affected my digestion taking it for over 4 years. Last yearago I could eat or drink a cup of tea before taken it as long as I left enough time between to

Work and PD
I'm wondering how many years someone with PD can still have a job after the day he/she was diagnosed? Can someone still have a job after starting medication like Sinemet or something else?
