JUST BEGINNING RYTARY
WAS DIAGNOSED 15 YEARS AGO (64yo female) AND ACTUALLY GOT BETTER OVER THE YEARS AND WAS TAKING ONLY 2- 100/25 SINEMET A DAY SOMETIMES ONLY ONE. WE DETERMINED THAT I HAD LYME INDUCED PARRKINSONISM AND THAT THE NEURO LYME BUGS WERE BLOCKING MY DOPAMINE UPTAKE AS THIS NEURO HAD NEVER SEEN ANYONE IMPROVE

Another failure?
Sinemet was a dud, so I'm trying the timed release version. For the first two weeks I was to take a pill at 9:30 a.m. Yesterday I stepped up per instructions to one at 9:30 a.m. and another at 2 p.m. This morning when I woke up I thought I had gone completely bonkers. I had a night of grim nightmares

Liquefy your L-dopa
The following method for liquefying L-dopa has been shown to have faster on time with less dyskinesia. It is perfectly safe and as it will be shown, has been used with children with amblyopia (lazy eye). Simply put, it is liquifying 5 doses of L-dopa with 1,000 mg of vitamin C/ascorbic acid, is stored

Finding Joy in Parkinson's
Hi, my name is Kathleen Mier. I am a Cajun from South Louisiana. My husband was diagnosed about three years ago. I am convinced that he had Parkinson's for several years before diagnosis. Louis and I have been married for almost 47 years and many years ago, he became delusional about my "hitting"

Preparing for off times
Just wondered how everyone prepares for off time when med is not due. I'm usually wearing off 1/2 -1 hr before Sinemet is due.. Just seen new neurologist and working on it but I'm almost up to my max in meds. I try not to watch the clock and meditate but would like to know what other people do,

3 years on ... I fear my positivity ...
I am shocked. I have just retrieved my password and "rediscovered" this site. So much has happened, much of it good. 5 years since diagnosis and I feel better now than then. Where to start? Lots of exercise - non-contact boxing, Nordic walking with poles, Irish set dancing, gym with a trainer - the introduction

AZILECT
I live in UK and had PD nearly 2 years. My walking and balance are my main problems. I take 5 x 25/100 Sinemet Plus per day plus Pramipexole 0.18 mg 3 tablets 3 x per day. My symptoms can be very up and down for a few week's then settle down again. When I am told to take more sinemet I seem to

Taper off Sinement prior to DaTsacan?
Hi! Has anyone heard of tapering off Sinemet (Carbidopa / Levodopa) prior to taking a DaTscan? I can’t find anything in the documentation that says this is necessary however I have conflicting information from 2 Neurologists one saying I need too the other that says it is not necessary. Thank you in

self medicating since i was 10
I have been self medicating with Sinemet ..then madopar etc since i was ten and i never take my meds at the same time each day ( apart from my first dose in the morning ) as my meds never seem to last for a definitive amount of time. Some times they stack up in my system as they dont appear to be working

Sinemet and Lexapro
Another wrinkle in the sinemet saga. Three months after my diagnosis and my starting on the Sinemet I started taking Lexapro, 10 milligrams a day. My PD presents with lots of anxiety and depression and pain and movement problems but not tremor. In looking back at my journal I realize things really started

Sinemet effectiveness
I just got out my journal from 2013, the year I was diagnosed. I was curious how long it had taken for the Sinemet to really make a difference in my symptoms. At our local support group we had a neurologist speak this week and he said it was a matter of hours in which people could see a difference. My

Parkinsons / Parkinsonism ?
Hi everyone , I'm new here and typing on behalf of my husband. Back in July he was put on Venaflaxine 75mg - taken off in Sept cold turkey as GP thought he'd had a stroke - all scans clear. At beginning of October was put on Lyrica - his legs began to go plus the speech got worse - gradually tapered

Neupro Patch, starting
Having no success with, alleviate symptoms (mainly tremor), with sinemet, amantadine , ropinirole I am moving to Neupro patch, 4mg, on Monday. My cost will be $350. I hope the cost is a reflection of its effective treatment for reducing my tremor. (and other symptoms) The tremors were so terrible one

Speech problems mainly
Husband has not been diagnosed yet (waiting on Neurologist appointment) but been given Sinemet 3 times daily. His speech is the main problem which occurred when he was on Venaflaxine anti depressant and has continued when he was taken off cold turkey. Slow walking came into it when he was put on Lyrica

Seeking Comments From those combining Mucuna Pruriens (MC) with their Sinemet (C/L)
When combining MC w/C/L how does that seem to work best for you? I believe there must be a better way than I have done so far. I have taken them at the same time and independently and one awhile before the other in both directions. I've taken MP with water, juice, hot pineapple juice as a hot beverage
