Does anyone have hallucinations from their PD meds.
I take requip 2/3 x, sinemet 4 x, amantadine 3 x, and 2 clonazepan at bedtime. Most of my hallucinations are of people that have passed. It kind of scares me from time to time. It doesn't happen all the time maybe once or twice a week.

Mucuna pruriens caused unpleasant side effects
I have been on Mucuna pruriens for 4 weeks. I had decided to go off most of my Parkinson's meds or at least decrease the doses because of the headaches I was getting from gritting my teeth. The same thing happened to me when I took Paxil and stopped when I went off it. I titrated off azilect and 1

Has anyone taking mucuna pruriens been told to stop it before undergoing a general anaesthetic?
I am soon to be given a general anaesthetic for a minor operation. During the pre operation assessment I told the nurse that I was taking Mucuna Pruriens together with Sinemet for my Parkinson's. She referred it to the anaethisist who said it was contraindicated to the anaesthetic used and that I must

Does anyone wake in the night unable to move?
I have been taking about 1000mg of Sinemet for most of the past 5 years. More recently I have had to come off Amantadine due to difficult s/e. Now I find with Sinemet acting as a mono therapy I am feeling much more disabled. Any thoughts out there?

funny where life takes us
Funny how life changes and surprises us, when I was a kid the only thing I ever wanted to do was fly airplanes. It was my dream to fly for a living and I did, I spent all of my working life for the most part flying for an airline, it was everything I thought would be and I loved it. Along the way I also

Over the last few months I have eliminated 1mg azilect and 8mg requip.
I continue to take sinemet (100/25) 3x a day plus 3/8 teaspoon mucuna pruriens 3x and 2 requip at night for my restless leg. I am doing well except for a slight occasional tremor, more so when I am stimulated. My question is ( for those of you familiar with mucuna) should I continue to increase my MP

How much levodopa do you take?
My drug regime daily is: 1.25mg Zelapar, 750mg Sinemet Plus and 200mg of Sinemet Plus. I have been taking 300 mg of Amantadine but it led to the blotchy skin condition Livedo Reticulasis, urination difficulties and other disagreeable side effects. Amantadine did help me to cope better with pd and stopping

Coming off Ropinirole
Well i now have the new tablets that will replace the Ropinirole. I have now been put on Sinemet (Carbidopa & Levodopa). These are to be started at 62.5mg four times a day and building up to 125mg four times a day while at the same time tapering down on the Ropinirrole. Just had to make myself a chart

I am so frustrated that I can't do anything to help my husband with his pain and doctors aren't helping.
He is having really bad pain in his legs to the point he cries. Because of his cognitive issues, I can't understand everything he is trying to tell me so I don't for sure know what he is experiencing. I've been driving the Neurologist crazy with my calls asking for help. He was taken off Mirapex several

Has anyone had problems when increasing Sinemet? My hubby was taken off Mirapex and his Sinemet was slowly increased to 2 pills 4xday
but now has leg pain and still trouble walking as well as loss of appetite and cognitive issues. Doctor said to reduce it back to where it was so hopefully that will work. Dr. hasn't offered anything else to try so I'm at a loss on what to do. If his current state continues, he will probably not be

Does anyone take Trihexyphenidyl?
I had an appointment with my Consultant yesterday as my usual cocktail of Stalevo, Requip XL and Sinemet CR are not controlling my tremor. After discussing various options I was asked to try one of the above tablets twice a day. As I have never heard of this drug I wondered whether anyone had had

If Sinemet only works for so long, isn't it a good idea to put off starting on it as long as possible, or is there an element I'm missing?

The side effects of Sinemet have me pretty frightened.
The side effects of Sinemet have me pretty frightened. I'm hoping to stay on Pramipexole as long as possible (its side effects are bad enough) In any case, isn't it better to put off the Sinemet as long as possible? The sooner you start it, the sooner it loses its effectiveness , right? Or am I mistaken

I am curious as to what kind of problems any one has had taking Sinemet?
I started taking it in August and am now having a few issues. I also taking. Requip XL 12mg a day. I am not sure if it could be my thyroid -- I'm at that lovely age where some days my body is not my own. HORMONES! Would kindly accept responses from the women . Please no snide Man remarks --I'm just not

Nausea ugh!
I felt like I had an invisible buzz saw going on inside of me, so I broke down and started sinemet to get it to stop please. And that dang sinemet makes me nauseous and feel like crud. I will stop it and go back to vibrating. Good lord, does the sinemet nausea ever go away?
