MEDICATION NOT WORKING EFFICIENTLY
Over the last couple of weeks my meds have been taking forever to kick in and then have gone off early. I take Stalevo, Requip and half Sinemet for Parkinsons and other meds for different problems. I am beginning to wonder if these meds are working against each other. Is this possible? Last weekend

Sinemet
Is it pronounced 'sign-met' or 'sin-met' and which syllable is the emphasis on the sine or the met? Can't find the phonetics when I google it.

Rasagline (azilect) and setreline (Zoloft)
I've been on Zoloft for a very long time for depression. Currently taking 100mg. I started taking Azilect three weeks ago at .5mg for the first 10 days and 1 mg since. When my Neuro prescribed Azilect and said it was a Mao-b inhibitor I reminded him I'm on Zoloft and he said not to worry that there

Correct medication cocktail
Hi Everyone. It is Pat. I found the hardest part of treating PD was getting the right mix of medications taken at the right times. It took quite awhile but my Doctor and I feel we have reached that point at least for now. I take three Stalevos a day, mirapex(an-agonist) three times a day,and at

Desperate in Maine
Good Morning! I'm brand new on here. I am a 36 year old male looking to pick someone's brain about early onset parkinsons disease. I have had symptoms for quite a while (weight loss, very fatigued, tremors in my thumb and finger, dry eyes, extreme upper back/shoulder pain, insomnia, etc.) It all came

No meds
Having seen the recent posts about the book on nutrition ( written by someone with MS) and as well, reading all the supplements, etc that various of you take, I want to ask if it is dangerous NOT to replace dopamine...will not taking sinemet or the Mucuna equivalent do more harm to the neurotransmitter

Sometimes you never know how bad you've been feeling until you start feeling better.
The Azilect and Sinemet has turned my life around. I didn't know how much I hurt until it stopped hurting. I didn't know how stiff I was until I loosened up. I didn't know how good it feels to not be depressed and actually feel happy again. At first I could not go for walks without feeling like I

Sinemet
Sinemet made my stiffness and dystonia (that thing that makes you feel like you're going to push your foot out of the bottom of your shoe) worse. Shall this, too, pass? Or am I taking too much of a good thing?

Placebo effect or medication effect?
I've been taking Sinemet for almost a month now and Azilect for a week, and my symptoms are much improved. My Neurologist gave me a tentative diagnosis of having Parkinson Disease. How do I know if it is not a placebo effect that I'm having? Stopping the meds would not answer the question because

I would like to try taking Mucuna capsules. I have one bottle of Mucuna distributed by Himalaya from India. The label says...organic velvet

bradykinesia?
Has your medication helped with general slowness? I noticed a slowness in moving (I believe that is bradykinesia?) before I was diagnosed. Now that I'm taking Sinemet it seems to have improved greatly. Sometimes I think my mind (not my brain) is fooling me into believing what I want to believe.

Comtan increasing off times
Just started taking Comtan (along with usual sinemet) and find my off-times are drastically increased so that there's very little on-time. Didn't expect Comtan to have the opposite effect of what it's supposed to do. Also more foot dystonia (cramping) forcing me to walk on the outside edge--OUCH. And

New PSP Diagnosis
Hi, After 3 years living with a PD diagnosis, my husband's new dr believes he has PSP. I have read some info about this, but wonder how a definite diagnosis could be made. It seems from what I read that PSP is worse than PD. I pray the dr is wrong, but we would like to know for sure. He has never

Advanced Parkinsons treatment
I have had pd for at at least twenty years. After dx I had been put on Cabaser by a neurologist who then retired and my gp informed me that there were insufficient funds to replace him. He would just keep prescribing this med. and I would just continue without a Neuro. Cabaser turned out to be particularly

Parkinsons detox
I just joined this forum after seeing my mom struggle so much with her PD. Over the years have introduced mucana , a few supplements , exercise etc , but a recent fall has really pushed her back where she is tired, sleepy and can barely walk (she was only walking with the helper before also) . Wish

What helps reduce Dyskinesia .
We are giving her sinemet , amantadine, Mirapex etc. Over the years we have reduced the amount of sinemet (I think she was overdrugged in the beginning - and we couldn't tell as her tolerance to meds was good ) . Now 1/4 sinemet every 2 hours , to try and follow the less meds at more frequent interval
