Newly diagnosed
Just been diagnosed with PD does anyone have anything positive? It's quite scary! I take Sinemet and it helps somewhat but I am still really stiff down my left side.

Half Sinemet CR
Now neurologist feels I could benefit from adding Half
Sinemet
CR
at night to help with minor tremor (whole of right hand side), poor sleep pattern, and morning stiffness. I am reluctant to increase meds at this stage. Has anyone experience of taking half
Sinemet
CR
at night for these symptoms?

Depression is gone.
One thing that has happened to me since I started Sinemet is that my depression has left. Most all the time I'm actually happy. I'm very grateful for this. It's such a wonderful feeling after being so depressed for so very long. My GP says it's because no matter how much serotonin you have it can not

Hallucinations/delusions?
Hi everyone. Have any of you come across this before. My hubby ger is still taking a very low dose of sinemet even though he has PSP, and a low dose anti depressant, sertraline, plus BP meds. In the last few months he has asked me twice if I was in his bed, he is on his own in a hospital bed, and of

Robin Williams
Suicide was not likely a easy decision for Robin for me it would be a hard but a possible way to end to my life when the time comes for me to leave. Not alone like Robin but with my sweet family and close friends around me. So they could remember me for who i am not the disease that has taken over my

European Parkinsons Therapy Centre ,Boario Terme Italy
Have just finished a weeks 'boot camp' and although tired from all the physical therapy,have pushed myself to limits I never thought would be possible again. Being on max dose of Mirapexin and Azelect the Nurologist recommended I start Sinemet. Thanks to my wife's research we found the centre and decided

MEDICATION NOT WORKING EFFICIENTLY
Over the last couple of weeks my meds have been taking forever to kick in and then have gone off early. I take Stalevo, Requip and half Sinemet for Parkinsons and other meds for different problems. I am beginning to wonder if these meds are working against each other. Is this possible? Last weekend

Sinemet
Is it pronounced 'sign-met' or 'sin-met' and which syllable is the emphasis on the sine or the met? Can't find the phonetics when I google it.

Rasagline (azilect) and setreline (Zoloft)
I've been on Zoloft for a very long time for depression. Currently taking 100mg. I started taking Azilect three weeks ago at .5mg for the first 10 days and 1 mg since. When my Neuro prescribed Azilect and said it was a Mao-b inhibitor I reminded him I'm on Zoloft and he said not to worry that there

Correct medication cocktail
Hi Everyone. It is Pat. I found the hardest part of treating PD was getting the right mix of medications taken at the right times. It took quite awhile but my Doctor and I feel we have reached that point at least for now. I take three Stalevos a day, mirapex(an-agonist) three times a day,and at

Desperate in Maine
Good Morning! I'm brand new on here. I am a 36 year old male looking to pick someone's brain about early onset parkinsons disease. I have had symptoms for quite a while (weight loss, very fatigued, tremors in my thumb and finger, dry eyes, extreme upper back/shoulder pain, insomnia, etc.) It all came

No meds
Having seen the recent posts about the book on nutrition ( written by someone with MS) and as well, reading all the supplements, etc that various of you take, I want to ask if it is dangerous NOT to replace dopamine...will not taking sinemet or the Mucuna equivalent do more harm to the neurotransmitter

Sometimes you never know how bad you've been feeling until you start feeling better.
The Azilect and Sinemet has turned my life around. I didn't know how much I hurt until it stopped hurting. I didn't know how stiff I was until I loosened up. I didn't know how good it feels to not be depressed and actually feel happy again. At first I could not go for walks without feeling like I
