Generic Drugs
I have been taking the same drugs for a few years. 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

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

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

Addicted to Sinemet?
Hi all - I think I mentioned in a previous post that my dad was "abusing" his Sinemet, to the point of being dangerously overmedicated. Is it possible to be "addicted" to Sinemet and if so, can you wean off of it and get back to "normal"? My dad had DBS last Friday, and although his program director

Diagnosed 5+ years no exercise program...
Would like to hear from those with PD for 5+ years and not on a regular exercise program. Diet is OK but nothing structured. Taking Sinemet, Exelon, Nemenda and Selegiline. I'm tired of exercising when I don't want to and not sure if it helps. I have no faith in my Doctors. "Practicing" is now a bad

Trouble with Sinemet dosing
Diagnosed with tremor intensive PD 2001. Started Sinemet end 2012, 3x100mg /d as I was getting weaker. I sailed along OK for about one year, then suddenly one to two hours after taking a dose I would go into almost a convulsion like state with intense tremor and weakness. I learned that I was not allergic

What color lessens your PD symptoms ............... Yellow, Green, Blue, or Red?
I read how seeing certain colors can a influence brain chemicals and did this simple experiment. 1. Find a quantitative way to measure your PD symptoms. For me, I rotate a tennis ball between my thumb and fingers using my left hand (where my PD is worse). Then I count the rotations I can do in 30

Sinemet and psp
I don' t think sinemet is helping my sister she can't walk or talk or feed herself and crunches this tablet, I have been told it can't be got in liquid form, should I ask for her to betaken off it?

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?
