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.

2 months after DBS implant
Well..... this has been a tough 2 months. First month and a half was waiting for the DBS surgery to heal and only half of the second was turning it on and learning how to manage it. That is still being learned now. I think it is going to be a lo-o-o-o-ng process. Leo is a very impatient man and that

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

Case study - an update. (might be of interest to "new" sufferers)
Have tried the usual Dopamine medications. ( Mirapexin, Neupro patch and Requip ) All showed varying degress of success in reducing movements during sleep but all left me feeling as tired during the day as when I was on zero medication. Consultant has now suggested we go down a different route and

A day in the life.......
I was diagnosed with PD nearly two years ago. I remember vividly how I felt, all those fears and feelings rushing around in my head. I thought my life was about to change drastically and was expecting that I would have to give up work in a year or two as the disease rapidly destroyed my brain. Well

can anyone help please?
I have had RLS for so long I can't remeber a time without it. Of course it's worse now I'm older. Went to my G.P. in desperation about a year ago who put me on Requip. I got up to 2m.g and they helped but I suffered a lot of nausea and fainting fits. I then heard of Nuepro patches so with reluctance

Help! - I need sleep
I was taking Stalevo 100 4 times a day and
Requip
XL
8mg once a day but was recently given Sinemet Plus 25mg in addition. My sleep pattern was at the most 2 hours after going to bed and then usually a further, if lucky, 2 hours later. No sleep during the day.

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

Hi all, I am new to this site & look forward to learning from you ways to live with RLS.
When I was 9 my mother took me to the Dr. because I would sleep for a short period then be awake for hours. Dr. put me on phenobarbital which I took just one night. I felt wretched the next day. Fast forward 40 years to a cardiac electrical crisis (AVNRT) which led to being under cardiology care. Finally

Can this happen really
I just moved to amarillo texas from clovis new mexico went to walgreens to get my
requip
xl
transfered and the pharmachy in clovis wouldn't transfer it. He said he would lose to much money. Can they do that? This will be my third day without pills.

Is anyone experiencing any of the OCD behavior from Mirapex?
I did but switched to Requip and the OCD is 99% gone. It does take care of the OCD better but also wears off quicker than Mirapex, made me very sleepy in afternoons and the tremors were a little more noticeable but it's worth the side affects to me.

Sleep Patterns
I used to take a Stalevo on waking, but my Consultant has told me to discontinue this and increased my dosage of
Requip
XL
, which seems to have made things worse. Knitting seems to stop my tremor, but does not help me to sleep.

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

experiencing invisible tremors
I have for the most part invisible tremors,it took longer to get a dx, but the tremors are every bit as real, and are starting to move out. I take requip three times a day, azilect once a day and amantadine twice a day. It helps a lot but the tremors are strong in the morning, anyone else have much experience
