Reducing madopar
For several years I have been taking
madopar
every three hours during the day, together with entacapone, rsagaline and rotigotine patches. I also top up with dispersible

Knowledge is Power: understanding our medications.
Guess what levadopa ( sinemet,
madopar
etc) half life is 60 - 90 minutes!! Research shows that altogether it lasts up to 3 1/2 hrs. Not long is it. In the beginning you can store a bit so once, twice or three times a day medication regimes work.

Bradykinesia
At diagnosis I tried
Madopar
and later on Sinemet, looking back I think the drs then had me increase the dosage too quickly and soon I felt so ill I was unable to work. Not nauseous but completely fatigued, sweaty, felt terrible. So I stopped both trials after a week or so.

Taking Parkinson's meds with food
I'd imagine not everyone is fully aware that taking Parkinson's medications, such as Sinemet or
Madopar
, ought NOT to be taken, according to the information given in the following link, at the same time as eating a meal with protein in it.

LSVT Big!
I was initially started on
Madopar
with no positive response, just bad reactions and I felt so sick I couldn't even work. Tried Sinemet instead in case it made a difference but again once I got up to a certain level I felt very ill so went off that too.

I am a firm believer in IBUPROFEN. I have been taking a small dose of about 10 - 20 ml of FENAPAED, which is a child's format - and kinder
I take 7 x 125mg
MADOPAR
and 3 x 0.36mg (each dose being 2 x 0.18mg) PRAMIPEXOLE together with 7 x 200mg ENTACAPONE (quite a lot of meds!)

Another change in Rose
She looked very pale, nurse took b.p. again before I left and it was normal, so much for the good reaction to
madopar
. Would be grateful for replies and advice.

Changed to madopar
Also have changed from sinemet tablet to
madopar
liquid and Rose remarkably has been communicating again! Able to answer us and even answered a question on a quiz show on the t.v.! Nursing home is amazed as are we, could it be the change in medication? Anyone experienced this?

Parkinsons and constipation
They are going to increase the
madopar
so hopefully that will help with tremors. |But hey life goes on yes at times I can scream, like the other day we could not move a large table very heavy, so when my back was turned he sawed the legs off.

Sleep medication
He is on
Madopar
(which has little obvious effect) and Seroquel to help with his hallucinations. Initially the Seroquel seemed to help his sleeping but the effects soon wore off.

Is it worth changing from madopar to sinemet
Hi all, i am on 2 x 125mg
madopar
and 0.7 mg pramipexole 3 times a day and amandatine 100 mg 2 times a day, I find that the medication doesn't seem to help the stiffness too much, has anybody changed from
madopar
and found that changing to sinemet has worked better.
