Milk blocking levadopa
I found this interesting article, though not exactly new news, explaining why milk can block the effects of levadopa completely. The explanation is clearer than many and may explain why my sinemet isn't so effective after my morning bowl of cornflakes and milky coffee! https://nutritionucanlivewith.com

I have a bad habit of over dosing when I'm in an off time.
I take a total of 8 stalevo 200mgs and 7 Sinemet EQ 100mgs during the day. My off periods are extremely terrible and at times I'll crush 1 or 2 EQ's and take with ginger ale. One time I had taken a Stalevo at 6pm , 2 EQ's at 6:45, 1 EQ at 7:00 and one at 7:15. I took my Stalevo again at 8:30 then of

Opicapone
My husband was given Opicapone about 18 months ago but stopped taking it for some reason. He started taking it again just over a month ago. He found immediate improvement with it eg. not having to go to the toilet so often during the night but he is finding it difficult to get the correct dose. It does

On/Off period caused by Sinemet. Anyone taking dopamine agonist and/or MAO inhibitors experience on/offs?
I found in the web an interesting info about a disclaimer contained in the package insert of Sinemet distributed in Australia. It warns as a “side effect the on/off periods may occur to some people after one year use where people may lose their ability to move from minutes to hours then can move again

PD and speech
My symptoms are largely under control with sinemet, with no sign of speech problems. The local Parkinson support group offers a music therapy program. Does anyone have experience with music therapy for Parkinsons people?

Meditation as treatment?
My first post. Two years ago dx'd with MS. Then a year later the neuros decided it's PD. I was on sinemet for a year with no change in the hand tremor. I have no other signs of PD. I understand that exercise is the only remedy that helps PD. I was a distance runner for over 30 years til this

Dopamine agonist withdrawal
Hello to all, I am looking for advice, support and somewhere to whine. I wrote before as I have got off a daily dose of SR pramipexole .75 mg and 1 tab sinemet 100/25. I took 6 weeks to do it . My dr wanted me to do it more quickly but I did not, having struggled through the whole misery once before

Sinemet 25/100 not available again UK
I've been told by my pharmacy that they can't fulfill my sinemet order again and I need to ask my doctor for an alternative. I can't get an appointment with my neurologist until January. Is anyone else having the same problem?

Have I been expecting too much? Comments and opinions welcome ....
Hi All I've posted before about Madopar and Sinemet not working for me and it's still not doing a great deal to help. At my 6-monthly chat with my neurologist recently I was keen to explore with him other issues like :- 1. Is he sure it's PD (could it be MSA or another PD+ mimic?) 2. Homeopathic / alternative
