Newly diagnosed-starting sinemet in increasing doses
My consultant has suggested that I ‘gradually introduce low strength (12.5/50) Sinemet with half a tablet three times daily over a few days and then gradually increase further to a whole tablet three times daily over the next few days’. She then says to increase further at weekly intervals if necessary

Requip

The sinemet gives me swallowing problems and dyskinesia. Also anyone take LDN with requip? I am also having major problems with off

Is it worth changing from madopar to sinemet
Hi all, i am on 2 x 125mg madopar and 0.7 mg pramipexole 3 times a day and amandatine 100 mg 2 times a day, I find that the medication doesn't seem to help the stiffness too much, has anybody changed from madopar and found that changing to sinemet has worked better. I thought it may be worth changing

Generic Drugs
I take Stalevo, Ropinerole, Trihexyphenidyl and
half
Sinemet
CR
. These have worked well for me. However, my GP has advised that they intend to change my Ropinirole tablet with a tablet called Repinex XL This appears to be the generic trade name and the tablets are said to be same as Ropinerole.

Parkinsonism
Is Parkinsonism an early stage of Parkinson's? That is my most recent diagnosis. All the drugs I've tried -- sinemet, neurontin, amantidine, etc -- have backfired and resulted in a wild exacerbation of all my symptoms. In many ways I look like a classic PD person but not in others. I had a DaT scan which

What I don't get is...
The meds that are supposed to help have the opposite effect! When I try any of these meds -- sinemet, amantidine, even neurontin -- the tremor, which is in my right arm/hand, spreads to my right leg, head and voice and speeds up too. I feel like I've gone from the "wash" cycle to the "spin" cycle! Have

Haldol Injection for Parkinsons Patient!!! PART 1
Can't find a sufficient word to express the magnitude of the horror I am now living. I already HAD drug induced Parkinsons diagnosed in 2006. It was a fairly moderate case other than balance and severe executive functioning only cognitive disorder. It had been stable over the last 2 yrs or so. I've been

Curcumin and CoQ10
My husband has PSP and is taking the drugs sinemet CR, Apo-levocarb, gabapentin, tyrazodone and magnesium glycinate. Is it safe to take curcumin and CoQ10 along with these drugs?

Azilect and Sinemet
I tried to take selegeline with sinemet 25/100 4xday. I quit after a week because the dyskinesia was so bad. My neuro did not discuss with me how or when to reduce the sinemet. I would like to try it again. I felt better motor skills. The sinemet lasted much longer. Does anyone have experience with this

Sudden worsening of symptoms
Has anybody suffered sudden worsening? Until May this Year I was on Sinemet 62.5 mg 4 times a day, Requip 5mg and Azilect. My only problem was fatigue, but my mobility was good, so my nurse advised me to gradually double my Sinemet to 125 mg 4 times daily. I was fine on this until a couple of weeks

Does anyone have a good experience with Sinemet?
Everyone talks about all the horrible side effects of Sinemet and how their loved one is much better without it! S has been on it now for over a year and I can only say good things. His movement is a lot better now, than it was before, allowing for PSP taking it's toll. They have just given him some
