My neurologist wants me to go to Madopar CR instead of just Madopar, I'm a bit dubious - has anyone had experience with this drug ? Thanks.

Is there anyone with DBS taking Madopar or Sinemet and then added Azilect?
This question is for a friend who is not 'online'. He has DBS and on Madopar several times a day. His DBS specialist prescribed him Azilect, several months ago, which he took for about one week, but stopped because he perceived no benefit. His specialist told him that he did not give it enough time

Anyone having problems with Madopar? Or more specifically Levodopa in particular?

The problem is now my tremor has started to get worse again in the last week since stopped the Madopar and I am due a review in 3 months once the Madopar has left my

My neurologist has taken me off Madopar after being on it for 7 months because it contains Levadopa. What can I have instead?
I have been on Madopar for about 6 months and saw my neurologist for a review last week. The I told him of my problems with impulse buying that has gone out of control for which I am having help from a psychologist to help me control these impulses. My neurologist told me off in that should have called

Exercise if you can!
I find going to the gym 3 times a week very theraputic. My consultant says vigorous exercise has shown a positive effect in lots of PD cases, has anybody got any comments? I was diagnosed 4 yrs ago i take, modopar, azilect and ropinerole and am still leading a normal (!) life.

Does anyone have any reliable information about ZANDOPA?
I have been on Sinemet for six years - 800 mg currently - and now that the s/e are severely impacting on my life I am keen to find a way of reducing it. In particular, the dyskinesias are getting much worse. I can't be prescribed a dopamine agonist because of ICD previously. I have received a 200g

Extended Release Medications
I have read some posts where Extended Release medication forms such as Sinemet CR and Stalevo are being cut in half. These medications are meant to be swallowed whole as cutting them (or chewing them) defeats the purpose of the dose.....a gradual slow release of the active medication so that large "spikes

SLEEP PROBLEMS
This has no doubt been discussed before but I haven't really used this site much yet and so haven't found it. My PD is reasonably controlled during the day but I dread going to bed! As soon as I get in to bed I am uncomfortable, mainly because of my leg which has the tremor. The tremor gets less

Constipation and Parkinsons
As long as I have 2 to 3 fresh kiwi fruit first thing in the morning and at least 1/2 hour before breakfast and preferably 1/2 hour before my first meds of the day, I stay a regular as clockwork. I haven't found that having the kiwifruit interferes with my MADOPAR very much at all, but I try to have

Neupro patches
I have been using Neupro Patches for over a year but recently this summer I felt tired and I was going to sleep in company which was very embarrassing especially as I didn't know I had. I just felt tired and away I went. I stopped the Patch to see if it was that, and it must have been. I feel much

Is weight gain a Side effect of Madopar?
I was diagnosed with PD 8 years ago and was taking most recently Stalevo & Sifrol to control it thinking at the time Sifrol was doing me more harm than good. Last August I had DBS but still wound up on Sifrol And Sinemet. After a few months it was finally decided that I should wean myself off sifrol
