Relief from Artane but none with Sinemet
I’m curious if anyone else has had symptom relief while taking Artane after levodopa provided no relief? My neurologist had me on Sinemet, eventually up to 3 tablets 4x a day. During this time I didn’t experience any symptom relief. He recently had me try Artane, and after taking 1/2 tablet 2x a day

Fava beans
Does anyone eat them? And in what form? After reading about fava beans as a natural source of dopamine, I started eating fresh steamed beans in salads almost daily. I do take Sinemet 25-100 3 times daily along with Rasagiline. In PA, USA they are available, seasonally, at Wegman’s as Melissa’s steamed

Brand name Sinemet versus Generic Sinemet
I am starting to wonder if my on/off extreme motor fluctuations are due to the various manufacturers of generic Sinemet. I am contemplating whether to ask my doctor (movement disorders specialist) to prescribe me the brand name version of Sinemet. Has anyone else experienced a difference in the response

viral gastroenteritis — often called stomach flu and Sinemet
Just Sharing. Stomach flu can be a relatively simple infection for a healthy person, which I am. But I have PD and I take Sinemet and Selegiline. Here is what happened: I got the effects of the bug and diarrhea started, muscle soreness and fatigue followed quickly thereafter. I had no appetite but

Mucuna with 1 sinemet
How much mucuna would equal 1 25/100 and will the sinemet help mucuna cross into the brain? Also I was typing about something I've discovered for myself and Dystonia really bad cramps in feet/ halves. I found out that protein gives me the Dystonia/ cramping no matter how I wait not to interfere

Sinamet CR providing no relief
In order to prevent this, her doctor started her on
Sinemet
CR
, hoping it would provide a smoother day, with less severe "off times". Her doctor eased her into the Sinamet CR, but she's now been taking her 25-100 dose 4x/day for almost two weeks.

Imbrejia, Anyone?
Maybe I missed this thread. It’s probably already being discussed. However, here goes again. Has anybody here tried an oral fast acting sinemet, the inhalable stuff? I just watched the demonstration of it at the pharmaceutical company’s Inbrejia website. Does it cost $1 million? Any information appreciated

Sinemet after 20 minutes
I wonder if anyone else experiences this. About 20-30 minutes after I take sinemet my tremors get worse for a few minutes, and then calm down.

Experience with Rytary
Hi folks. I am exploring the option of switching to Rytary from Sinemet and wanted to see if anyone else has done so and what are your experiences?

Sinemet miserable side effects
Poor sleep. Anxious half waking thoughts while trying to sleep. Overactive bowel. Feel zoned out. I know this is wrong. Started sinemet on 1 Feb. 3 x 12.5 / 50. Increased to double dose 3 March. Back to original dose 13 March because of the side effects. This is no way to carry on. I'm going to have

High-Dose Thiamine Protocol IM Injections

Sinemet - sleep problems
Started Sinemet 1/2/19. 3 x 12.5 / 50. Doubled it as instructed 3/3/19. Sleeping badly, feeling worried and low, can't taste food. Decided yesterday to go back to original dose, and hopefully bring in high dose thiamin. New to this forum. Have had brilliant advice from PwP who runs a website. She was

B1and Rash?
Husband with PD started on B1 and after four days of only 100mg a day, has developed a rash on his arms. Anyone else had that specific problem. He’s been on Sinemet for quit some time so that’s not the culprit.

Eliminating Sinemet
I'm 75 years old and was first diagnosed with PD by a neurologist about 15 years ago. At that time the only symptoms I remember having were that I sometimes stepped a little bit funny, and I didn't swing my arms when I walked. Anyway, the doc immediately prescribed 3 Sinemets per day, with which I complied
