Side effect of Stalevo and Sinemet
I know that the above medications, and others, cause discolouration of Urine. However, on my off days my tremor is not controlled at all and I have noticed that my urine is a natural colour. I think this must mean that I am not absorbing my meds and this is why they are not working. This usually rights

Is anyone but me on Azilect only? When I tried to add Sinemet I had very high blood pressure spikes so I had to go off it.

Why am I gaining so much weight?
I am careful, for the most part, what I eat, exercise regularly, and lead an active a life as Parkinsons allows me, but still I gain weight. I take Stalevo, Requip and half Sinemet daily. I ask this because it seems that people also taking these meds have the opposite problem - they are losing weight

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR SINEMET USERS
Internationally there have been some changes to the formulation of Sinemet. The result is that the tablets are no longer scored and cannot be halved as there is no guarantee that halving a tablet will give an accurate half dosage. The stock of Sinemet that is scored and can be halved is likely to be

Anyone trying LDN or interested in it?
I have recently had an appointment with my neurologist and, as expected, he told me basically that the only way to achieve a reasonable quality of life into the future is to have DBS surgery. He spoke of the risks, that not everyone is suitable etc etc. And that was it. DBS or continue to steadily decline

Other possible side affects
Hi There - I have had RLS for about 7 years now and am on a combination of Ropinirole (2mg) and Sinemet. I have recently been getting really bad night sweats (approx 5 times a week) - waking up and being saturated in sweat. I also seem to be producing a lot of saliva and having to swallow more regularly

Anyone in UK wondering about new style Sinemet plus tablets? (small and round)
Hi, I have just started taking the new style Sinemet Plus tablets, made by MSD, had my first ones yesterday am. I am very achey especially round jaw and shoulders, and have a nasty high pitched tinnitus. This is a little complicated because I am not fully recovered from a fluey bug. Nevertheless, I do

Is anyone else allergic to Sinemet?
Hello Everyone! I'm 49 years old and I was diagnosed in 2006, via med-challenge, after having spent 2 years in doctor's appointments and having testing done. I lost my job and my access to health insurance and ended up going to the local, public low/no cost health clinic for care. The doctor there

Has anyone noticed the chemical smell that comes with taking Sinemet
I was taking Sinemet and Mirapex and gave up on the sinemet because i couldnt tolerate the smell of it.. Somehow this drug affected my sense of smell and everything i was exposed to. Coffee smelled terrible.. and even my breath had that chemical smell. One friend said he could tell if someone had pk

sinemet dosing ...
Hi, I currently take sinemet 25/100 4x daily and myripex 3x daily. I have noticed that after taking my first dose of sinemet in the morning, I often can't make it the whole 4 hours until the next dosage. I have begun taking the second sinemet after 3 hours, but have begun to feel quite nauseous and

Is efficiency of meds affected by weather?
I realise that this sounds a stupid question, but was wondering if anyone has found this to be the case? I have been away in my caravan over the last weekend. When I am there my meds usually last longer, but this time my tremor has been much worse. I don't know if this is because it was extremely cold

Sinemet CR
I have recently been prescribed Sinemet CR in addition to my usual meds of Stalevo and Requip XL to help with sleep problems. However, in addition to them not helping with sleep my tremor seems to be quite a bit worse. I go back to the hospital next week and wondered if my tremor problems would be due

Do anybody know if Zandopa would work without taking Sinemet? I've had PD for almost 15 years and have been on Mirapex and
Amanadine the entire time. I have a prescription for Sinemet, but am weary of starting it. I don't know if my medications have carbidopa? Do you know if it is necessary to take something with the Zandopa or does it contain carbidopa. Please help me if you can. Thanks. Also where did you order it from

Sinemet CR and sleep
I have recently been prescribed Sinemet CR to help with my sleep, or rather lack of it. I take 4 x Stalevo 100mg and 1x8mg Requip XL daily. I have been taking last Stalevo at about 7pm and Sinemet at about 10pm when going to bed as advised. I am still waking after about 2 hours. I know a lot of people

Does anyone have suggestions on how to manage dystonia?
I was diagnosed 4 years ago and feel that I am progressing quickly. I don't have tremors, so maybe that is why. I have read on this site that PD without tremors progresses faster. The two things that bother me the most are my inability to speak and dystonia in my right foot and leg. When I go to

Anyone know how long the waiting list is for DBS at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London?
Hi everyone, hope you are all okay. I had my consultation this week. I was told that the only option for me was DBS as medication is not working. Next step is to meet with the DBS Team at Queen Square. I am now left in a situation where I am simply trying to manage this rather precarious situation

2 x Madopar CR, 100mg taken 11pm tonight - ambulance called at 2am? Why did this happen?
I am not sleeping well at the moment. My GP suggested that I try 2 x Madopar CR for bedtime dose to see if that helped. I took them at about 11:30pm (I also had Baclofen in my system to calm painful leg dystonia). I fell asleep. I woke at about 2am this morning and felt a bit weird, like my blood
