The Value Of Carbidopa Levodopa Demonstrated in Two Signatures
One of the first decisions a PwP must make is when (or whether) to begin taking medication. There is no correct answer and we all know how PD varies from person to person. I held off for 2 1/2 years after my diagnosis, but a relatively minor event today caused me to pause and think about how well sinemet

Do I have RLS?
I have been suffering from Parkinson disease for about 5 years. No matter what medication I take my legs and feet are always doing jerky movements .

Amantadine for tremor?
I've needed to write a long post (or a few separate posts) for weeks now, but I'm just too busy. I'm going to try to make time to do some thorough updates on my situation soon, but I have an immediate question: I can't tolerate Sinemet (tried it from Jan. 16-Mar. 10, 2021), so my neuro (MDS) wants me

Sinemet v carbo levodopa g
Sinemet is the Origina make/brand for levodopa and I have always had this made by Merrick Sharp Dohme Recently in found to my cost that it longer under special licence and it can be made by anyone now, but I was unaware that they would have such a different effect on me. They don’t work well at

Dopamine agonists or levodopa?
I am 53 and was diagnosed PD 8 years . I am currently on 1/2 spoon of Zandopa and 1/4 Sinemet, 4 times a day. The medication only lasts for about 2 hours, so each day has been a hell for me. I am currently deciding on whether I should go with dopamine agonists first, or I should add more zandopa/ Macuna

ET VS PD
I found a few studies showing ET patients have a small degree of striatal dopaminergic degeneration. I've had dominant LEFT hand tremor for 4 years. Other than the tremor I have no PD signs. I was on Sinemet for two years and now I'm on Rytary. I had the DST scan 3 months ago. It shows

Sinemet dose intervals
Is anybody here taking their Sinemet less than four hours between doses? I’m finding that lately taking it every three and a half hours reduces my off time and was just wondering how other PWPs manage their doses and how it works for them. Thanks. Blessings to all.

Sinemet / carbidopa levodopa
“In 1988, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recommended that the daily dose of Sinemet should not exceed 800 mg per day, and as of 2013, this recommendation has not been revised. In 2018 the labeling of Sinemet recommends not exceeding a levodopa total daily dose of 2,000 mg per day. As

Food and sinemet timings
Having read in the “Parkinsons book” recommended by Roy Prosner we have been avoiding food two hours before taking sinemet and then eating an hour after. It is getting g a little difficult to plan meals around this schedule. How important is it, or should we just avoid protein during these times please

I am not convinced that I have PD. Could anyone tell me if they have had any of these experiences?
has anyone on a regular basis gone to bed and taken Rytary and not have to take it again for 12 hrs later. This is even after you have been awake for 2 to 3 hours? with no tremors? Do you take Rytary or Sinemet for the symptoms of being stiff but your tremors re fine? Does anyone experience Dystonia

Sinemet and shakiness
Hello all! Curious if anyone has ever experienced tremoring and more shakiness after you taken Sinemet? I take 25/100 and before it starts to work I’m shaking and tremoring quite a bit before it takes effect. Any feedback would be great! Thanks.

Coronet Duo (Red Light) Success?
Approximately three months ago, I asked if Sinemet confers residual benefits. Some of you said yes and one of you provided a link to a study suggesting that there is a long term benefit. However, I posed the same question to my Parkinson’s nurse who basically said that approximately five hours after
