Give Sinemet a try.
I have just read a post in which someone was scared of starting Sinemet. I have been on it since 2010 without any problems and it means I can live a normal life. Different for everyone but it's worth a try.

Hurting
My name is Michelle and I was diagnosed with early onset PD this past may but I have had symptoms since 2012. By the time I was diagnosed I could barely walk with a cane and was not very functional at all. I've been on sinemet 25/100 4x day and that has really helped a lot (no more cane) but still had

Neupro and shopping complusively
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease four years ago. I am on Sinemet, Neupro. I have been doing well for the most part, but I struggle with shopping complusively. I have gone from Neupro (Requip) 8mg to 4mg and have seen some improvement, but continue to see it as a challenge. Does anyone have tips

Sinemet side effect?
Good morning all 🙂 I would be very grateful if anyone has heard of sinemet causing bleeds. I have been very poorly since last Friday when I started passing blood. I was taken to a&he which was awful as he was a dr with attitude. He dismissed me without doing lupus bloods as I also have lupus. And said

Suggestions for timing food and medications?
I have read many posts about the importance of spacing your Sinemet from your food in order to get the most benefit from Sinemet. I take 3doses a day 5 hours apart. I have been eating with each dose because when i took it in the morning it was making me throw up. I did not feel any improvement so my

Need Advise
I take Senemet, 25-100, three times a day. I understand that the 100 stands for the mg of L-dopa in the prescription. I'm trying to substitute Macuna Purins for at least one of the Senemet daily. The Macuna I have says it is 15 mg per tab. Is there a way to calculate the amount of Macuna to take? Hopefully

The Medical Mafia
This week I went to see my doctor and spoke to him about Mucuna Prereins. As expected I received a rather cold reply and advised to get back on Sinemet and forget this hocus-pocus stuff. We spoke about seeing a naturopath and he scoffed at the idea stating that it wasn't necessary. I'm not surprised

Parkies, need your advice on Mucuna pruriens dosage!
Hi All, Ron does not do well on Sinemet, so I've been substituting MP. His Sinemet is 25/100 and I just bought Now Dopa Mucuna and was using Solaray, but just guessing at dosage. But I have seen posts by several of you guys for formulas, but can't locate them now! He doesn't have much movement disorder

Meds and injury
As I have written here I fell quite badly just over two months ago and broke my arm. I was racing with my grandson...he gets to win from now on. The question I have is that prior to the fall I was taking three or four 25/100 sinemet a day. Since falling I am taking five to six. Has anybody else experienced

Sinemet SR
Hi Everyone, My good friend takes 4 x Sinemet 25/100 a day and has trouble with very bad stiffness and difficulty getting up in the night. Does anyone know whether taking a Sinemet SR as her last dose at 7pm instead of the normal dose perhaps help her during the night? Her PD Doctor has only suggested

Sinemet??
My doctor upped me from 2 to 4 pills a day. It seems to help except during stressful times. I notice when I'm frazzled, i have hard tremors. My question is to those that take sinemet, what does it do for you? Do your tremors go away completely ? How long does a pill seem to be effective ? Nauseous?

How to deal with food blocking sinemet?
I know about food containing protein blocking the absorption of sinemet, but I seem to have a high degree of need for protein in my diet. How should I best manage this problem? Protein does interfere with my sinemet, but I have tried just eating vegetables and fruit during the day but it doesn't hold
