Question for those on Amantadine
I have just started to take it along with the sinemet (9 daily). Wondering if I should take it at the same time or at a different time? My doctor said it should not matter. I am not up to the full dose yet, but will be taking 3 a day. Any tips? It is too early to know for sure, but so far I am feeling

Hello everyone
Good morning everyone. My name is Pam and I signed onto this site in August and love all of the information that goes and comes from here. I was diagnosed in the summer of 2016 and I am doing very most days. I take sinemet 1 25/100 3xdaily and stay pretty active and busy.

Sinemet, slow or delayed response to this med anyone?
Hi, I know many people get a very quick positive response to this med but I wondered if anyone's beneficial response has taken a while? (Weeks/months ) I've been taking 25/100 sinemet plus x3 daily for a couple of weeks now with no positive or negative signs, save for perhaps increased joint pain.

So glad to find you!
Hi there. I'm Mary Jo. So glad to find this group. I'm already excited to try some new things you have all mentioned in your posts.

Headaches?
Hello, I wake up every morning with terrible headaches. They get better after my 1st dose of sinemet. I sometimes get them in the afternoon and early evenings. Does anyone else have this symptom or is this a side effect when your sinemet wears off?

First post. Happy 2018
My mother in law was diagnosed with PSP almost two years ago (Parkinsonism was the first attempt)... in her words, she feels like a Lab rat!! She’s now, again, on Sinemet... don’t know if it’s working, but don’t know what would be like if she’s taken off it. Our biggest concern right now are her sleepless

All natural
We can take mucuna pluriens instead Sinemet or Madopar. I wonder, is there any natural supplement that could substitute Neupro patches (rotigotine) or Xadago (safinamide)? Thanks to all

Gabapentin
I've been taking Gabapentin and Sinemet for a months. I've had double vision for about that long as well. I was sure it was from MS but the eye doctor said it wasn't. And it's been getting worse. Well, someone posted that she had double vision from the gaba so I looked up the side effects and sure

Should I start sinemet?
My neuro suggests that I should be on sinemet. A little background. I'm 82. Was diagnosed with PD at age 75. Have taken no PD meds to date. Symptoms include: loss of smell; tremor right arm and sometimes on left side; facial tremor; problem with swallowing at times. These symptoms don't bother me

Does Mannitol work?
Diagnosed a year ago at 72 although constipation and lack of smell for 10 years. Walked slowly and lack of energy were restored with 25/100 Sinemet. Am very active playing golf (walking) 4 times a week and cycling 3 times (15 miles). Taking Mannitol and all symptoms have gone except a slight tremor in

Sinemet and PSP
My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2016 at age 68. Subsequently, he was started on therapy with Sinemet and developed episodic periods of shortness of breath that were distressing to both him and me. Cardiac and pulmonary workups did not reveal an etiology for the shortness of breath

Levodopa Medications and Vitamin B6
Introduction
Vitamin B6 is a cofactor in over 100 enzymatic reactions. In the process it is converted from the active form, principally P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate), to the inactive form, pyridoxine. An excess of pyridoxine is toxic because it occupies sites that require the active form. For this

DBS SURGERY
With my DBS surgery scheduled for bright and early on December 15th, I have to say that the last nine months have passed quickly. I sometimes regret taking a year to make my decision that DBS was not only an option, but a "must do" for me. This website is a wonderful forum - I believe that the experiences

Are there good days and bad?
The first day after receiving Sinemet (not sure how to spell that), Dad seemed to perk up a little and come out of the "death stare." It was short lived though. The next day his interaction decreased and his words became mumbly again. Again the day after he seemed a little better again. The last two
