Which anti depressant I can take with Azilect?
I know I can't do without the Azilect because when I came off it for a month the
madopar
stopped working. When I asked what anti depressant I could take the nurse said the GP must find a suitable non SSRI.

Any benefit from taking Mirapaxen and Madopar
My husband has been on Mirapaxen and an increasing dose of
Madopar
for the last 2 years with no sign of any improvement in his mobility. The
Madopar
has just been increased again and he has become very agitated at the slightest thing and very shaky.

Anyone have severe psychological depression during wearing off?
This evening genuinely felt like being in hell - sounds really OTT now but not at the time - after taking my next dose of
madopar
it gradually eased until after 30 mins I felt quite normal - just fed up . I don't have any hallucinations, confusion or psychosis during them - just searing pain.

Low carb diets and PD?
However, I also know that eating protein can make l-dopa drugs ( I take
madopar
) less effective because protein crosses the blood brain barrier and blocks the action of the drugs. I find that my drugs seem less effective if I have them too close to eating protein.

Self managing PD - Are we serious or not?
The approach was DA plus Selegeline / Azilect then Sinemet/
Madopar
I respect that each Neuro has to make his own assessment and that certain drugs don’t suit all people.

Boost Sinemet with Madopar Dispersible YES OR NO?
not to boost the Sinement with
Madopar
Dispersible? does she mean to add more sinemet in to my 3 does a day which is not enough? As far as I have read up it lasts up to 5 hours in the body so thats 15hrs coverage rather than 24hrs! keep the use of
Madopar
Dispersible to a minimum, why?

Does anyone know how my mum can stabilise after going into freefall?
My mum started taking
madopar
to boost her rasagiline but this has coincided with her having diarrohea. She was switched to Sinemet but the diarrohea has persisted so she's now off that too and on rasagiline only.

I am 39 and taking 2 to 4 Madopar tablets a day do you think I will end up with dyskinesia?
The idea is that I take the lower dosage of dopamine agonist and top it up with
Madopar
. I am worried that I will end up with dyskinesia due to my age and how early I am taking Levodopa. On Requip XL I was having sleep problems, eating in the night and sewing a lot.

Are Sinemet and Madopar the same thing - L-Dopa ?
Doc has recommended trying
Madopar
(dissolvable ones) but a low dose once a day to start with as i struggle with mornings (don't we all?) Anyone have experience of this drug "cocktail" (and i know..............we're all different !!)

Drugs not toxic
Critics of Sinemet and
Madopar
will need to bring forward much stronger human data if they wish to change clinical practice.

Is anyone suffering from 'wearing off' periods inbetween meds and feel total confusion, anxiety and exhausted?
Since starting on
Madopar
125 & antacapone 5x times a day about a year ago (which last a good 2-3hrs before wearing off) my movement is totally restored but before my next dose is due, for an hour or so I experience total confusion, anxiety, moods, exhaustion, which I never had before.
