How can you tell if you are taking too much sinemet vs too little. Did experience any of these new symptoms til I switched antidepressant.
Weaning off one antidepressant and onto another I experienced symptoms that felt like I needed a fix. Initially I had some relief when I took a dose of Sinemet. Neurologist suggested increasing dose (low) to 4x daily. After 3 weeks symptoms seem worse. Haven’t actually seen neurologist he made these

Body pain increases for few minutes every 3.5 hours
Any small pain in the body increases (sensation or feeling) with each downward crossover between ON time and OFF time. This increased pain sensation lasts for 30 minutes. or we may say at every wear off of generic sinemet that is every 3.5 to 4 hours. Mostly it is in the back. Relief after another person

Night time medication
My husband takes Madopar IR and mucuna during the day, approx 4 tabs of Madopar 100/25 and 1.5mg of mucuna, which gives him quite good on/off times. What doesn't work so well is the night, where he takes one Madopar CR at 10pm and then one Madopar IR at 3.30/4am, with some mucuna here and there. Any

What do I do now?
I got diagnosed at the end of October 2021. Once diagnosed I was offered a choice of sinemet or pramipexole. At the time I was stunned and confused at what to do. I hadn’t processed anything yet. I chose pramipexole cause I got the impression it was lesser of the two evils so to speak. Now that I have

Trying to get off Sinemet
Still stuck on Sinemet (100mg levidopa/25mg carbidopa) which augmented causing severe muscle rigidity along with the worsening RLS convulsions. It was originally prescribed over 2 years ago to reduce potential damages to 4th spinal surgery. No one realized it would be so difficult to stop. I tapered

Underprescribing Sinemet for PD?
In 'The New PD Treatment Book' (2015) by Eric Ahlskog he says on page 164, start with one carbidopa/levodopa 25/100 3x daily, week 2 up the dose to 1.5 tablets 3x daily, week 3 increase to 2 tablets 3x daily, week 4 increase to 2.5; week 5 try 3 tablets 3x daily. His aim is to find by trial and error

MSA medication
My husband was diagnosed with MSA in July and was started on Sinemet straight away. In all this time we have noticed no improvement at all. The Parkinson’s nurse discussed it with the consultant and he wanted to stop the medication altogether but she persuaded him to keep him on it a while longer. Are

Back Pain at Night
After sleeping for 4 hours, I wake up with backache (muscle, I guess). The pain is not always in one spot. The location of the pain shifts in the back. It is not directly on the spine. The pain location changes while rubbing anywhere from the back of the neck to lower back. Rubbing/massage helps to

I leave here a translation from my last facebook post. Consider it as my 11 months FUS Surgery update.
Sorry for some bat translations, i'm not an english native speaker. Évora 21-27 Évora Half Marathon – 10 Km race The day started not too early, 7:45, I tried to sleep until I could, not out of laziness, but to try to have as much rest as possible and also to be able to delay taking the medication

Well I have succeeded in stopping both the Ropinerole slow release and the Sinemet Plus ! I am now on 600mg of Pregabalin and I don’t think it’s helping much at all and just a quick note thanks to reading some of the posts here I also stopped the Fluoxetine and it had a dramatic impact. My RLS improved

I am completely off Ropinerole and have also weaned myself off Fluoxetine but am struggling with Sinemet. When I finally stopped the antidepressant the RLS through the day reduced quite dramatically which really surprised and delighted me , it hasn’t stopped or reduced the evening and night sadly.

Spanning an octave - Sinemet does it again
This is bound to be premature. I can feel the regret coming on. Just a bit of patience Winnie. Guess who's on Sinemet? Not as I wanted - but maybe my neuro knows more than I gave him credit for. I have switched back to the guy who diagnosed me, and is (relatively) just up the road. I explained that

Does acupuncture help tremor?
Does acupuncture help tremor? My partner has tremor which is distressing. He was diagnosed 2 years ago and given sinemet but this does not help with the tremor. I’ve read that acupuncture helps and wonder if anyone here has experience?
