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

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
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

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

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

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

Help! - I need sleep

Husband 78 diagnosed with PD three years ago. Tremor in his left hand. Takes Rasagaline. Tremor much worse. Will Sinemet help tremor?
The docs want him to go on to Sinnemet---I am very much against it because of the side effects. At the moment there is just he very bad shake in left hand & up his arm, bad constipation & terrible handwriting. He runs a business & a National Charity. Am I wrong to stop him having Sinemet?

Does any know what I should do?
To control my Parkinson I take 12 meds per day. Sinemet, Azilect, Mirapex and Amantadine. Diagnosis was 5 years ago @ 50y/o. I still work FT. My medication regimen works for a while then it is back to the MD and medications are changed and/or a new one added? MD wanted me to take 2 Mirapex 3x/day

There is hope!
It's been 10 years since I was diagnosed - at the age of 58. I had been taking 2 sinemets (100/25) 3 x a day, and had been considering increasing the dosage to 4x a day - to make it a total of 8 sinemets a day - because, I felt that the sinemet was starting to last only 3.5 hrs. between doses instead

Drugs for Parkinson's- how do you spell their names?
This is not really a question, more an attempt to answer it. I have noticed many different spellings being used, and I bought a book about Parkinson's which includes drug names. The most commonly used drugs seem to be Madopar Sinemet Mirapexin also known as pramipexole Requip
